The Seven Years War

First published in 1907 as England in the Seven Years' War, this military history examines British strategy from 1756 to 1763 as a problem of combined sea and land operations. Corbett follows William Pitt's direction of the war, the naval blockade, descents on the French coast, and campaigns in Canada, India, and the Caribbean, with close attention to how fleets made distant armies possible. He treats the conflict as a test of choosing theatres and timing rather than as a string of isolated battles. The book is a study of policy and command, not a social history of the home front.
