Britain's Last Invasion by J E Thomas
With the French Revolution raging across the channel, there was much alarm in Britain in 1797. When the French invading force landed at Fishguard in Pembrokeshire on 22 February, the last invasion of mainland Britain had begun. This book presents a study of the last invasion, assesses the contemporary evidence and sets events in their context.
Teddy Thomas can trace his Pembrokeshire roots back to the seventeenth century, and in 1797 his great-great grandparents were living as Pembrokeshire smallholders. He is Professor Emeritus at the University of Nottingham, and was, until his retirement in 1996, Senior Pro Vice Chancellor and Head of Department and Dean of the Faculty of Education. He has degrees from Oxford, London, York and Nottingham universities, and is the author of twelve books. He now lives in Nottingham.
