For over three & a half years, from 1779 to 1783, the tiny territory of Gibraltar was besieged & blockaded, on land & at sea, by the overwhelming forces of Spain & France. It became the longest siege in British history, & the obsession with saving Gibraltar was blamed for the loss of the American colonies in the War of Independence. Located between the Mediterranean & Atlantic, on the very edge of Europe, Gibraltar was a place of varied nationalities, languages, religions & social classes. During the siege, thousands of soldiers, civilians & their families withstood terrifying bombardments, starvation & diseases. Very ordinary people lived through extraordinary events, from shipwrecks & naval battles to an attempted invasion of England & a daring sortie out of Gibraltar into Spain. Deadly innovations included red-hot shot, shrapnel shells & a barrage from immense floating batteries. This is military & social history at its best, a story of soldiers, sailors & civilians, with royalty & rank-&-file, workmen & engineers, priests, prisoners-of-war, spies & surgeons, all caught up in a struggle for a fortress located on little more than two square miles of awe-inspiring rock. Gibraltar: The Greatest Siege in British History is an epic page-turner, rich in dramatic human detail
- a tale of courage, endurance, intrigue, desperation, greed & humanity. The everyday experiences of all those involved are brought vividly to life with eyewitness accounts & expert research.
