The Execution of Admiral John Byng as a Microhistory of Eighteenth-Century Britain (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

According to Voltaire, Admiral John Byng was executed to "encourage the others." Of course, the story is more complicated. This microhistorical account upon a macro event presents an updated, revisionist, and detailed account of a dark chapter in British naval, social, and cultural history.
