19962195688Atlantic Monthly Press 1996. 5th Printing. Trade Paperback. Good. 5th printing. Light stain along top edge causing mild wrinkle. 1996 Trade Paperback. xiii 416 pp. In The Long Fuse Don Cook investigates the American Revolution from the British side throwing new light on this colorful age and its players. He draws from a multitude of primary sources including personal correspondence and political memoranda to show how Britain at the height of her power but suffering from internal political strife made one mistake after another culminating in the loss of her prized colonies. In opposition to King George's American policies were such towering figures as William Pitt Edmund Burke and Charles James Fox; their speeches in the House of Commons are some of the best oratory in the English language. But despite their eloquence and forcefulness they did not have the votes to prevail. In the end the Americans rebelled as much against an English political state of mind as against the British Army. Cook takes us through the war years: King George's decision that "blows must decide" the colonies' future; Lord North's futile effort to negotiate peace after the British defeat at Saratoga which only hastened the American alliance with France; the secret letter from Washington to Lafayette that the British intercepted perhaps altering the outcome of the Battle of Yorktown; and the peace negotiations masterminded by Franklin and John Jay.

The first edition of this highly influential first English biography of Cook by the Anglican clergyman Kippis one of the leading biographers of his day. In addition to describing the three great voyages in depth Kippis also deals with Cook's earlier experiences including his duties aboard the Mercury during the siege of Quebec and his Newfoundland and Labrador surveys. Most of Samwell's narrative of Cook's death is included as well.<br/>While Kippis did not appear to be entirely insensitive to the long-term effects of European contact with Pacific peoples he championed Cook's humanitarian cultural and intellectual mission in the circumnavigation of the globe. In a study of European exploration of the Pacific Lynne Withey concluded that this volume by Kippis became a prominent justification for the involvement of Europeans in the Pacific islands for years after Cook's death Withey 406-407. <br/>The second appendix includes "The Moral an Ode" by the British poet novelist and religious dissenter Helen Maria Williams an old family friend of Kippis.
