John McAleer. Britain’s Maritime Empire
Spanning the period from the rise of the English East India Company to the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Britain’s Maritime Empire fulfills the refreshingly specific promise of its title by situating British imperial interests in Southern Africa within the context of the South Atlantic and Indian Oceans.

“Tavern of the Seas”? The Cape of Good Hope as an Oceanic Crossroads during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
Convict Labor in the Portuguese Empire, 1740–1932

Read together, these books cover almost four centuries of coerced …
