Although 1759 is not a date as well known in British history as
1215, 1588, or 1688, there is a strong case to be made that it is
the most significant year since 1066. In 1759 - the fourth year of
the Seven Years War - the British defeated the French in arduous
campaigns on four continents and also achieved absolute mastery of
the seas. Drawing on a mass of primary materials - from texts in
the Vatican archives to oral histories of the North American
Indians - Frank McLynn shows how the conflict between Brtiain and
France triggered the first 'world war', raging from Europe to
Africa; the Caribbean to the Pacific; the plains of the Ganges to
the Great Lakes of North America. It also brought about the War of
Independence, the acquisition by Britain of the Falkland Islands
and, ultimately, the French Revolution.
