The New Map of Empire: How Britain Imagined America before Independence

byS. Max Edelson

S. Max Edelson uses The New Map of Empire to investigate how Britain Imagined America before Independence through a carefully framed historical account. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and technology & engineering. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. The New Map of Empire leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved.
