Description

Un trabajo objetivo sobre el sitio y ataque de la ciudad de Cartagena de Indias en 1741. En octubre de 1739, con la excusa del incumplimiento de los acuerdos comerciales obtenidos en América por el tratado de Utrech, Inglaterra declara la guerra a España y ello le da la excusa para intentar la conquista de las posesiones españolas en el Nuevo Mundo. Para ello, los británicos alistan tres escuadras con un importante contingente terrestre para asaltar los enclaves españoles americanos. La Batalla de Cartagena de Indias narra el desarrollo secuencial y pormenorizado de los acontecimientos en los que se implicaron los diversos contendientes (españoles, colombianos , británicos, norteamericanos y franceses), desde el comienzos del siglo XVIII hasta la batalla principal en la ciudad de Cartagena de Indias durante 1741, así como muestra en toda su plenitud los fuertes caracteres del virrey de Nueva Granada, Sebastián de Eslava; el del tuerto, cojo y manco marino español Blas de Lezo, y el del vicealmirante inglés Edward Vernon, actores principales de los hechos. En esta 2a edición se ha incluido, además, algunas aclaraciones y opiniones acerca de las últimas publicaciones noveladas de los hechos.
