‘Daniel Baugh’s book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in the global dimensions of this pivotal conflict between Britain and FranceMeticulously researched and based on an impressively wide range of evidence, Baugh’s engaging and accessible account charts the war across continents and oceans, offering penetrating insight and acute analysis of this global contest and its long-lasting ramifications.’

John Mcaleer, University of Southampton, UK

‘Especially strong on the global dimensions of the conflict, with in-depth attention to North America, the Caribbean, the high seas, and India, Baugh narrates the campaigns lucidly and examines the strategic, diplomatic, logistical, and financial contexts that shaped the war’s course. An accessible and lively introduction to the Seven Years’ War for students, the book engages experts with arguments on key points of interpretation. This new edition provides fuller attention to the role of Louis XV and to the crucial financial dimensions of the war. The best, one-volume account of the Seven Years’ War available today.’
