Reviews

A fine treatment of a neglected event, explained within the context of the times by a scholar who is intimately familiar with the sources and the issues. This a short book ... but one that is nevertheless effective and the product of much scholarship, including archival research in both Britain and Spain. Nicholas Tracy, making use of a large number of British and some Spanish documents, has in Manila Ransomed written what is probably the definitive account in English of the British capture and occupation of Manila during the Seven Years War. Manila Ransomed is a worthy addition to the Exeter Maritime Series.
