In this new edition of The Global Seven Years War, Daniel Baugh
emphasizes the ways that sea power hindered French military
preparations while also furnishing strategic opportunities. Special
attention is paid to undertakings - always French - that failed to
receive needed financial support. From analysis of original
sources, the volume provides stronger evidence for the role and
wishes of Louis XV in determining the main outline of strategy. By
1758, the French government experienced significant money shortage,
and emphasis has been placed on the most important consequences:
how this impacted war-making and why it was so worrying,
debilitating and difficult to solve. This edition explains why the
Battle of Rossbach in 1757 was a turning point in the Anglo-French
War, suggesting that Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick's winter
campaign revitalized the British war effort which was, before that
time, a record of failures. With comprehensive discussion of events
outside of Europe, the volume sets the conflict on a world stage.
One of the world's leading naval historians, Baugh offers a
detailed, evaluative and insightful narrative that makes this
edition essential reading for students and scholars interested in
military history, naval history, Anglo-French relations and the
history of eighteenth-century Europe.
