Books
Highlighting the British Navy's appropriation of American ships and mariners, 'Poseidon's Curse' places the American Revolution in its wider Atlantic World context, demonstrating how events on and around the Atlantic Ocean helped cause the Revolution. Christopher P. Magra traces how British naval impressment played a leading role in the rise of Great Britain's seaborne empire, yet ultimately contributed significantly to its decline.
