Summary
This book examines how the British Royal Navy recruited and maintained its personnel during the Seven Years' War (1756-1763). Gradish analyzes the methods used to man the fleet during this critical period of imperial conflict, including impressment, volunteer recruitment, and the challenges of maintaining adequate crew levels. The study explores the administrative systems, social conditions, and practical difficulties involved in sustaining naval manpower during one of Britain's most important eighteenth-century wars. It provides insight into both naval administration and the experience of common sailors during this era.
