Reviews
"Evaluating the complexities of Britain's naval campaigns against Revolutionary France in the Mediterranean, Casey Baker's book stands out as a masterful blend of scholarly rigor and engaging narrative. It meticulously dissects the strategic and political dimensions of this pivotal era, presenting a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by the British decision-makers. Rich in detail and analysis, the book illuminates the intricate maneuvers, both on the seas and in the diplomatic chambers, that shaped the course of the war in the Mediterranean. A must read for anyone interested in the British naval history and the broader impact of the Revolutionary Wars."-- Alexander Mikaberidze, Professor of History, Louisiana State University
Synopsis
Britain's War for the Mediterranean provides a definitive study on British warmaking in the Mediterranean during the War of the First Coalition. It traces the origins of foreign and naval policies from the early eighteenth century to describe the duality of British affairs. These contradictions manifested themselves in the War of the First Coalition as Great Britain attempted to build consensus in the Mediterranean World while clinging to its power base of naval power and commerce. The book explores the decisions of individuals and the wider trends of the British political and naval system, honed over the course of the eighteenth century. In explaining war against Revolutionary France, the book follows the decisions of admirals, diplomats, and politicians in attempting to cobble together a coalition of Spanish, Austrian, Sardinian, and Neapolitan forces. This book also makes connections with the other theaters of war: The Austrian Netherlands and the Caribbean. Britain's War for the Mediterranean examines the internal working of the British government during the crisis of the French Revolution. It focuses on how politicians, diplomats, and military commanders formulated strategy for the Mediterranean theater. One of the major conclusions of this book is that the British government never spoke with one voice. Lacking synchronization in a changing conflict, the structure and conflicting objectives of each branch of the government failed to create a coherent plan to resist Republican expansion in the region. The book complicates the simplistic view of previous works on the weakness of allies and the naivete of the Pitt ministry, providing agency to diplomats and commanders across the region. The second major conclusion is that these conflicting objectives were firmly rooted in the experiences of the eighteenth century. British diplomacy, crippled in the aftermath of the American Revolution, saw the French Revolution as an opportunity to build consensus and a shared view of a British world. French aggression offered an opportunity to reclaim a position of influence lost over the course of the 1700s. In contrast, the trajectory of British foreign policy shaped the use of the Royal Navy in the eighteenth century. A trans-Atlantic force, a war in the Mediterranean forced British admirals to relearn the complicated nature of regional foreign policy. Diplomacy and naval power clashed over the conduct of the war - one rooted in foreign courts, the other in maritime coercion., Britain's War for the Mediterranean provides a definitive study on British warmaking in the Mediterranean during the War of the First Coalition. Author Casey Baker traces the origins of foreign and naval policies from the early eighteenth century to describe the duality of British affairs. These contradictions manifested themselves in the War of the First Coalition as Great Britain attempted to build consensus in the Mediterranean world while clinging to its power base of naval dominance and commerce. The book explores the decisions of individuals and the wider trends of the British political and naval system, honed throughout the eighteenth century. In explaining war against Revolutionary France, Baker traces the decisions of admirals, diplomats, and politicians attempting to cobble together a coalition of Spanish, Austrian, Sardinian, and Neapolitan forces. He also makes connections with the other theaters of war: the Austrian Netherlands and the Caribbean., Provides a definitive study on British warmaking in the Mediterranean during the War of the First Coalition.
