THE WAR OF JENKINS’ EAR THE FORGOTTEN STRUGGLE FOR NORTH AND SOUTH
AMERICA—1739-1743
[War Jenkins Ear]
[[link removed]]
FILLED WITH UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTERS AND MARITIME ADVENTURE, THE
INCREDIBLE STORY OF A FORGOTTEN WAR THAT SHAPED THE FATE OF THE UNITED
STATES—AND THE ENTIRE WESTERN HEMISPHERE.
In the early 18th century, the British and Spanish Empires were
fighting for economic supremacy in the Americas. Tensions between
the two powers were high, and wars blossomed like violent flowers for
nearly a hundred years, from the War of Spanish Succession (sometimes
known as Queen Anne’s War in the Americas), culminating in the War
of Jenkins’ Ear.
This war would lay the groundwork for the French and Indian War and,
eventually, the War of the American Revolution. The War of
Jenkins’ Ear was a world war in the truest sense, engaging the
major European powers on battlefields ranging from Europe to the
Americas to the Asian subcontinent.
Yet the conflict that would eventually become known as the War of
Jenkins’ Ear—a moniker coined by the 19th century historian
Thomas Carlyle more than a century later—is barely known to us
today. Yet it resulted in the invasion of Georgia and even involved
members of George Washington’s own family. It would cost
fifty-thousand lives, millions in treasure, and over six hundred
ships.
With vivid prose, Robert Gaudi takes the reader from the brackish
waters of the Chesapeake Bay to the rocky shores of Tierra del
Fuego. We travel around the Cape of Good Hope and across the
Pacific to the Philippines and the Cantonese coast, with stops in
Cartagena, Panama, and beyond. Yet even though it happened decades
before American independence, _The__ War of Jenkins’ Ear _reveals
that this was truly an American war; a hard-fought, costly struggle
that determined the fate of the Americas, and in which, for the first
time, American armies participated.
In this definitive work of history—the only single comprehensive
volume on the subject—_T__he War of Jenkins’ Ear _explores the
war that established the future of two entire continents.
