Shows how the political turmoil of the Spanish American Wars of Independence allowed an upsurge in prize-taking activity by navies, privateers and pirates.
The book charts the extent of British shipping losses and discusses the debate between merchants and shipowners, on the one hand, who pressed for greater security measures, and the British government, which wished to preserve neutrality during the conflict.
