Reviews
"[Paquette] skillfully brings together a very wide and often disparate array of literature, covering the five major empires of the colonial era, and forms an in-depth comparative history of empires....[This] book is elegantly written and well organized."--J. Ross Dancy, H-Net "For anyone keen to learn about the rise and development of Europe's overseas empires, this is the place to begin. Paquette has mastered a vast body of information to produce a splendid survey."--J. H. Elliott, author of Empires of the Atlantic World "This book builds on an incredible grasp of comparative historiography and brings previously disparate literatures into conversation with one another. It is a sparkling piece of scholarship."--Matthew Brown, University of Bristol "Paquette masterfully explores the interconnected histories of five European seaborne empires. His book is an in-depth and comprehensive piece of transnational history, and a fundamental contribution to the comparative history of empires."--Pedro Cardim, Universidade Nova de Lisboa "Beautifully written and thoughtfully argued by a leading historian, this text rethinks the history of the seaborne empires in fruitful and innovative ways. Paquette skillfully brings non-European actors to the fore and demonstrates the limitations of European ambition even as he illuminates its growing power."--Philippa Levine, University of Texas at Austin "In a blend of lucid narrative and nuanced analysis, Paquette provides a superb synthesis of early modern imperialism. Sweeping across a vast geographical and cultural range, he demonstrates the vital contribution of Europe's seaborne empires to global capitalism, and its consequences for peoples and environments across the world. A brilliant new starting point, highly recommended."--Anthony McFarlane, Emeritus Professor of History, University of Warwick, "[Paquette] skillfully brings together a very wide and often disparate array of literature, covering the five major empires of the colonial era, and forms an in-depth comparative history of empires....[This] book is elegantly written and well organized. . . . A well-framed, easily read, and fresh introduction to the imperial history of western Europe. For this, Gabriel Paquette deserves a hearty congratulations."--J. Ross Dancy, H-Net "This book [is] an important addition to the study of maritime commerce and naval power during the age of empire."--Thomas Malcomson, Northern Mariner "Gabriel Paquette's history of European maritime empires from roughly 1620 to 1820 fills a gap. Designed as an introductory overview for students and scholars new to the subject, his volume is a tour de force and immensely readable. . . . Paquette offers an excellent entry point for understanding maritime empires and their legacy."--Margarette Lincoln, Journal of British Studies "For anyone keen to learn about the rise and development of Europe's overseas empires, this is the place to begin.

Seller shipped book in a plastic bag WITH NO bubble wrap or foam sheets to cover or protect the side of book. Arrived with a small corner of the plastic bag ripped and one corner of the book exposed which dented. The book also has some scratches on the top of the cover. So not brand new anymore. 😞
