Excerpt from England in the Seven Years War, Vol. 1 of 2: A Study in Combined Strategy IN the following pages an attempt has been made to present Pitt's War as it was seen and felt by the men who were concerned with its direction. In every Chancellery in Europe, as well as in our own Cabinet, this part of the widespread Seven Years' War was always spoken of as the Maritime War and it would seem that no useful apprehension of the way in which ...
