Abstract

"Tempest: The Royal Navy and the Age of Revolutions" by James Davey is a comprehensive and engaging history of the Royal Navy during the French Revolution, the Haitian Rebellion, and other instances of resistance by common sailors. The book explores the diverse political identities of sailors in the Atlantic World, focusing on class relationships and how sailors understood their place in the Age of Revolutions. It covers topics such as impressment, mutinies, negotiations between sailors and commanders, and the government's surveillance and repression of sailors. With its accessible tone and well-illustrated maps, "Tempest" is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of naval history. [Extracted from the article]
