About the Author

Philip MacDougall was formerly a Lecturer in the Department of Economic History at the University of Kent. He is the author and editor of several books on maritime history, including The Naval Mutinies of 1797 (Boydell, 2011), Naval Resistance to Britain's Growing Power in India, 1660-1800 (Boydell, 2014) and Islamic Seapower during the Age of Fighting Sail (Boydell, 2017).

Reviews

This book provides a strong challenge to current interpretations of the early modern alliance between Russia and Britain. MacDougall's work helps to invite new ways of thinking about alliances beyond formal political arrangements.
*H-War*

An accessible and informative history of one of the most important relationships in the eighteenth century. The focus on Russia's naval history produces an alternative perspective on some well-worn tropes of Russian history.
*INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MARITIME HISTORY*

The author elaborated a compelling picture of the phases of bilateral relations between the UK and the Russian Empire from a British perspective.

Erarbeitete der Autor ein überzeugendes Bild der Phasen der bilateralen Beziehungen zwischen Großbritannien unddem Russländischen Reich aus britischer Sicht.
