About This Book

La obra narra la expedición anglo contra la Habana en 1762 y sitúa el asedio en el contexto político europeo que siguió al Pacto de Familia entre España y Francia, exponiendo las causas que arrastraron a la corona española a la guerra. Describe la campaña militar, el bloqueo y la breve ocupación inglesa, y explica las negociaciones diplomáticas y la restitución de la ciudad en 1763. Complementa la narración con referencias a crónicas y obras contemporáneas, y concluye examinando las reformas y el fortalecimiento de las defensas y la administración cubanas tras la devolución, que condicionaron la prosperidad posterior.
