The Campaign for the Sugar Islands, 1759: A Study of Amphibious Warfare

In the battle for empire that was the Seven Years' War, France’s Sugar Islands, Guadeloupe and Martinique, were stakes as important as the Dominion of Canada. This book sketches the background strategy that led William Pitt to send an expedition to capture them, but it is chiefly the story of the campaign itself.

Originally published in 1955.
