Description

[Machine Translation] On November 16, 1776, a ship flying the flag of the Continental Congress entered the West Indies island of St. Eustatius and fired a salute. The island's fort responded with a salute. It was the first public salute to the "independent nation" of the United States, and the moment that marked the beginning of a great swell of history. Analyzing the apathy of the British administration at home and the national sentiments and national backgrounds of the participating countries, the Netherlands and France, this book presents a penetrating historical perspective on the 18th century world war for American independence. This is the author's last work to be published in "August Gunfire.

最初の礼砲 アメリカ独立をめぐる世界戦争 / 原タイトル:THE FIRST SALUTE (ちくま学芸文庫) / バーバラ・W・タックマン/著 大社淑子/訳

1776年11月16日、大陸会議の旗を掲げた船が西インド諸島セントユースティシャス島に入港し、礼砲を放った。島の砦が答砲で応える。それはアメリカという「独立国」に対する最初の公的礼砲で、歴史の大きなうねりが始まった瞬間だった。本国イギリス政権担当者の無気力、参戦国オランダとフランスの国民感情・国家的背景などを分析し、アメリカ独立をめぐる18世紀の世界戦争を透徹した歴史観で描き出す。『八月の砲声』に著者最後の作品。
