The Channel Islands have played a key role in both naval warfare
and Anglo-French diplomacy, but this has not always been
highlighted sufficiently even though Britain and France were at war
for most of the period 1689-1815. Thisbook considers a wide range
of maritime subjects where the role of the Channel Islands has been
significant, such as intelligence gathering, piracy and
privateering, and naval strategy and control of the Channel. It
also examinestopics in relation to the Channel Islands
specifically, such as surveying and hydrography, fortifications,
trade and Channel Islands societies. It charts changes over time,
including the impact of technological changes, from thewars of
Louis XIV and William III, through the many Anglo-French wars of
the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and includes
planning for wars which were anticipated but avoided. Throughout
the issues are discussed fromthe perspectives of Britain, France
and the Channel Islands themselves, equal weight being given to all
three perspectives. Andrew Lambert is Professor of War Studies at
King's College, London and one of Britain's foremost maritime and
naval historians. Colin Partridge is a former consultant to the
States of Guernsey's 'Fortress Guernsey' programme for the
restoration and interpretation of Guernsey's fortifications. Jean
de Préneuf is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Lille and
Head of the Research, Teaching and Studies Unit at the Historical
Branch of the French Ministry of Defence at Vincennes.
