Bringing strategy, foreign policy, domestic and imperial politics
together, this book challenges the conventional understanding as to
why the British Empire, at perhaps the height of its power, lost
control of its American colonies. Critiquing the traditional
emphasis on the value of alliance during the Seven Years' War, and
the consequences of British isolation during the War of American
Independence, Jeremy Black shows that this rests on a misleading
understanding of the relationship between policy and strategy.
Encompassing both the Seven Years' War and the American War of
Independence and grounded in archival research, this book considers
a violent and contentious period which was crucial to the making of
modern Britain and its role in the wider world. Offering a
reinterpretation of British strategy and foreign policy throughout
this time, To Lose an Empire interweaves British domestic policy
with diplomatic and colonial developments to show the impact this
period and its events had on British strategy and foreign policy
for years to come.
