tradition-bound Royal Navy that failed to live up to its reputation. Philbrick asserts that these seemingly isolated events in different regions ultimately aligned and resulted in Washington and his ambivalent French allies trapping Cornwallis’s army at Yorktown. Philbrick fills his book with personalities. Many of these, such as Nathaniel Greene, the Marquis de Lafayette, François-Joseph-Paul de Grasse, George Rodney, and Sir Henry Clinton, readers will expect. Others are more surprising, but equally deserving. Philbrick credits Robert Morris with arranging the provisions and finances that allowed Washington’s march to the Chesapeake, even going so far as issuing his own currency, known as “Morris notes” or “Bobs” (165). Similarly, “no one short of Washington and de Grasse, it could be argued, would do more to make the Yorktown campaign a success than Francisco Saavedra” (133). This largely unheralded Spanish diplomat organized his country’s efforts against British Florida and then coordinated with the French to allow more of their fleet to sail for Virginia. Although it does not employ traditional citations, In the Hurricane’s Eye contains a bibliographic essay for each chapter which reveals the depth of Philbrick’s research. He utilizes a wide range of both primary and secondary sources, including much of the latest scholarship. The work also contains detailed maps, which help readers make sense of the various armies’ maneuvers. This book will find a welcome audience among the general public, and scholars will benefit from it, too.

人无财产:国家成立时的奴隶制和反奴隶制。由SeanWilentz。(剑桥,马萨诸塞州:哈佛大学出版社,2018年。Pv.xviii,350。$ 26.95。)

受传统束缚的皇家海军未能实现其声誉。菲尔布里克断言,这些看似孤立的事件在不同地区最终形成了一致,并导致华盛顿及其矛盾的法国盟友将约克镇的康沃利斯军队困在约克镇。菲尔布里克充满个性。读者会期待其中的许多作品,例如纳撒尼尔·格林,拉斐特侯爵,弗朗索瓦·约瑟夫·保罗·德格拉斯,乔治·罗德尼和亨利·克林顿爵士。其他人则更令人惊讶,但同样值得。菲尔布里克(Philbrick)赞扬罗伯特·莫里斯(Robert Morris)安排了使华盛顿进军切萨皮克(Chesapeake)的准备金和财务,甚至走到发行自己的货币为止,这种货币被称为“莫里斯票据”或“鲍勃”(165)。同样,“可以说,华盛顿和德格拉斯不缺人,比弗朗西斯科·萨维德拉(Francisco Saavedra)更能使约克镇的竞选成功”(133)。西班牙外交官在很大程度上未曾宣布,组织了该国对付英属佛罗里达州的努力,然后与法国人进行了协调,以允许他们的舰队更多地驶向弗吉尼亚。尽管《飓风之眼》没有采用传统的引文,但每一章都有一份书目论文,这揭示了菲尔布里克研究的深度。他利用各种主要和次要资源,包括许多最新的奖学金。该作品还包含详细的地图,可帮助读者理解各个军队的动作。这本书将在公众中引起欢迎的听众,学者也将从中受益。西班牙外交官在很大程度上未曾宣布,组织了该国对付英属佛罗里达州的努力,然后与法国人进行了协调,以允许他们的舰队更多地驶向弗吉尼亚。尽管《飓风之眼》没有采用传统的引文,但每一章都有一份书目论文,这揭示了菲尔布里克研究的深度。他利用各种主要和次要资源,包括许多最新的奖学金。该作品还包含详细的地图,可帮助读者理解各个军队的动作。这本书将在公众中引起欢迎的听众,学者也将从中受益。西班牙外交官在很大程度上未曾宣布,组织了该国对付英属佛罗里达州的努力,然后与法国人进行了协调,以允许他们的舰队更多地驶向弗吉尼亚。尽管《飓风之眼》没有采用传统的引文,但每一章都有一份书目论文,这揭示了菲尔布里克研究的深度。他利用各种主要和次要资源,包括许多最新的奖学金。该作品还包含详细的地图,可帮助读者理解各个军队的动作。这本书将在公众中引起欢迎的听众,学者也将从中受益。在《飓风之眼》中,每一章都有一篇书目文章,揭示了菲尔布里克研究的深度。他利用各种主要和次要资源,包括许多最新的奖学金。该作品还包含详细的地图,可帮助读者理解各个军队的动作。这本书将在公众中引起欢迎的听众,学者也将从中受益。在《飓风之眼》中,每一章都有一篇书目文章,揭示了菲尔布里克研究的深度。他利用各种主要和次要资源,包括许多最新的奖学金。该作品还包含详细的地图,可帮助读者理解各个军队的动作。这本书将在公众中引起欢迎的听众,学者也将从中受益。
