PDF Masters of the Battlefield: Great Commanders From the Classical Age to the Napoleonic Era by Paul K. Davis in History

Description

Offering a rare pan-Caribbean perspective on a region that has moved from the very center of the western world to its periphery; The Caribbean: The Genesis of a Fragmented Nationalism journeys through five centuries of economic and social development; emphasizing such topics as the slave-run plantation economy; the changes in political control over the centuries; the impact of the United States; and the effects of Castro's Cuban revolution on the area. The book integrates social analysis with political narrative; providing a unique perspective on the problems of nation-building in an area of dense populations; scarce resources; and an explosive political climate.
