Bücher von Bruce Lenman

This volume places war and conflict at the centre of the colonial enterprise in the 18th century. It incorporates the history of Britain's expansion with events in Europe and the wider international arena. Also included is a detailed examination of the origins of the American Revolution.

The first of two volumes in Bruce Lenman's hugely ambitious study explores three interacting themes: the growth of England's sprawling colonial empire; its military dimension; and the impact of colonial warfare on national identity.
