The American Revolution involved a naval war of immense scope and
variety, including no fewer than twenty-two navies fighting on five
oceans-to say nothing of rivers and lakes. In no other war were so
many large-scale fleet battles fought, one of which was the most
strategically significant naval battle in all of British, French,
and American history. Simultaneous naval campaigns were fought in
the English Channel, the North and Mid-Atlantic, the Mediterranean,
off South Africa, in the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, the Pacific,
the North Sea and, of course, off the eastern seaboard of America.
Not until the Second World War would any nation actively fight in
so many different theaters. In The Struggle for Sea Power, Sam
Willis traces every key military event in the path to American
independence from a naval perspective, and he also brings this
important viewpoint to bear on economic, political, and social
developments that were fundamental to the success of the
Revolution. In doing so Willis offers valuable new insights into
American, British, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Russian history.
This unique account of the American Revolution gives us a new
understanding of the influence of sea power upon history, of the
American path to independence, and of the rise and fall of the
British Empire.
