Description

British Campaigns in the South Atlantic 1805 - 1807. Operations in the Cape and the River Plate and their Consequences by John D. Grainger. 'This book covers the neglected British campaigns in South Africa and South America. After success in South Africa, the two expeditions to South America were scandalous blunders that led to two commanders being court-martialled. The author highlights the strong Scottish connection: both Baird and Popham were Scottish and the 71st Highlanders were heavily involved. Discover the long-term consequences for Scottish history, British control of South Africa, the development of Apartheid and the independence movement in South America.
