Product Information

A major new history of the Royal Navy during the tumultuous age of revolution The French Revolutionary Wars catapulted Britain into a conflict against a new enemy: Republican France. Britain relied on the Royal Navy to protect its shores and empire, but as radical ideas about rights and liberty spread across the globe, it could not prevent the spirit of revolution from reaching its ships. In this insightful history, James Davey tells the story of Britain's Royal Navy across the turbulent 1790s. As resistance and rebellion swept through the fleets, the navy itself became a political battleground. This was a conflict fought for principles as well as power. Sailors organized riots, strikes, petitions, and mutinies to achieve their goals. These shocking events dominated public discussion, prompting cynical--and sometimes brutal--responses from the government. Tempest uncovers the voices of ordinary sailors to shed new light on Britain's war with France, as the age of revolution played out at every level of society.

Reviews
"This magnificent book really lifts the lid on the sailing navy at war, for the 1790s were indeed tempestuous years. James Davey presents intricate, powerful evidence from a very wide range of sources. This book puts into context the recent contentious arguments between historians about impressment and mutiny. It will recalibrate the historical debate."--Roger Knight, author of Convoys "This book breaks new ground. Well researched and readable, it firmly links the naval mutinies of the revolutionary 1790s to shore-based insurgency, while its international reach also allows it to take in the revolts of enslaved Africans in the West Indies."--Margarette Lincoln, author of London and the Seventeenth Century "Erudite, balanced, innovative, and based on deep engagement with the sources, Tempest recovers sailors' voices and listens to them carefully. In the process, it offers an impressively lucid case for the relevance of the late eighteenth-century Navy to British history - and to the present."--Sara Caputo, author of Foreign Jack Tars, "This magnificent book really lifts the lid on the sailing navy at war, for the 1790s were indeed tempestuous years.

It will recalibrate the historical debate."--Roger Knight, author of Convoys "A rich and comprehensive portrayal of a navy in crisis during the eighteenth century's most turbulent decade. Davey is particularly astute when tracking the links between political movements on land and sea."--Nicholas Rogers, author of Murder on the Middle Passage "This book breaks new ground. Well researched and readable, it firmly links the naval mutinies of the revolutionary 1790s to shore-based insurgency, while its international reach also allows it to take in the revolts of enslaved Africans in the West Indies."--Margarette Lincoln, author of London and the Seventeenth Century "Erudite, balanced, innovative, and based on deep engagement with the sources, Tempest recovers sailors' voices and listens to them carefully.

His book is interesting throughout and deserving of attention."--Jeremy Black, New Criterion "This magnificent book really lifts the lid on the sailing navy at war, for the 1790s were indeed tempestuous years.
