Description

The War of Jenkins' Ear: A Forgotten Struggle for North and South America The War of Jenkins' Ear was a pivotal conflict that shaped the fate of the United States and the entire Western Hemisphere. Fought between the British and Spanish Empires in the early 18th century, it was a war that engaged major European powers on battlefields from Europe to the Americas and the Asian subcontinent. This forgotten war had far-reaching consequences, including the invasion of Georgia and the involvement of members of George Washington's own family. With a staggering cost of 50,000 lives, millions in treasure, and over 600 ships lost, it was a hard-fought struggle that determined the fate of the Americas. Robert Gaudi's vivid prose brings this epic conflict to life, taking readers on a journey from the Chesapeake Bay to the Philippines and beyond.
