The War of Jenkins’ Ear examines the Anglo-Spanish conflict that began in 1739 amid disputes over trade, smuggling and imperial rivalry in the Caribbean. It recounts the incident involving Captain Robert Jenkins, British attacks on Spanish possessions and the disastrous expedition against Cartagena de Indias. The book places the war within the larger struggle for Atlantic commerce and explains how it merged into the War of the Austrian Succession and influenced Britain’s American colonies.
