The Ungovernable Rock: A History of the Anglo-Corsican Kingdom and Its Role in Britain's Mediterranean Strategy During the Revolutionary War, 1793-9 (Apple- Zimmerman Series in Early Modern)

The author draws together abundant material to be found in archives, libraries, essays, and articles, and presents the Anglo-Corsican Kingdom as a coherent whole. He places it in its European setting, shows how it made considerable sense as an integral part of the Allied strategy in the war against Revolutionary France, and relates it to British strategy in the Mediterranean over more than a century.
