Described as a war against piracy at the time, the authors explore how British and American interests – diplomatic and military – aligned to contain Spanish power to the critically influential islands of Cuba and Puerto Rico, facilitating the forging of an enduring but unproclaimed Anglo-American alliance which endures to this day. Due attention is given to United States Navy actions under Commodore David Porter, to this day a subject of controversy. More significantly though, through the juxtaposition of British, American and Spanish sources, this book uncovers the roots of piracy – and suppression– that laid the foundation for the tortured decline of the Spanish empire in the Americas and the subsequent rise of British and American empires, instrumental in stamping out Caribbean piracy for good. 000839549 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000839549 650_0 $$aPirates$$zCaribbean Area$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000839549 650_0 $$aPiracy$$xPrevention$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000839549 651_0 $$aSpain$$xHistory, Naval$$y19th century. 000839549 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xHistory, Naval$$y19th century. 000839549 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xHistory, Naval$$y19th century. 000839549 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$zGreat Britain$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000839549 651_0 $$aGreat Britain$$xForeign relations$$zUnited States$$xHistory$$y19th century. 000839549 7001_ $$aBorras, Charles,$$eauthor. 000839549 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aGough, Barry M.$$tWar against the pirates.$$dLondon, United Kingdom : Palgrave Macmillan, [2018]$$z0230354815$$w(DLC) 2017964611$$w(OCoLC)1016047184 000839549 830_0 $$aBritain and the world. 000839549 852__ $$bebk 000839549 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1057/978-1-137-31414-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000839549 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:839549$$pGLOBAL_SET 000839549 980__ $$aEBOOK 000839549 980__ $$aBIB 000839549 982__ $$aEbook 000839549 983__ $$aOnline 000839549 994__ $$a92$$bISE
