Gibraltar/ The Greatest Siege in British History – Audiobook Online
Gibraltar is a beautiful book by the author Lesley Adkins, Roy Adkins.
A story of courage, perseverance, intrigue, despair, greed and humanity. The daily experiences of all involved are vividly reproduced with eyewitness accounts and expert research.
An account of the dramatic 4-year siege of British Mediterranean garrisons by Spain and France – an overlooked key to British losses in the American Revolution Ky.
For more than three and a half years, from 1779 to 1783, the tiny territory of Gibraltar was besieged and blockaded, on land and at sea, by overwhelming Spanish and French forces. It became the longest siege in British history, and the obsession with saving Gibraltar was blamed for the loss of American colonies in the War of Independence.
During the siege, thousands of soldiers, civilians, and their families suffered from horrifying shelling, starvation, and disease. Very ordinary people have lived through extraordinary events, from shipwrecks and naval battles to an attempted invasion of England and a daring sortie from Gibraltar into Spain. Deadly enhancements include red-hot footage, shrapnel and an explosion from giant suspended batteries
