Soldier, sailor, adventurer, and philosopher, Louis-Antoine de Bougainville was once a talented French officer whose remarkable career took him from the boudoirs of Paris to the flintlock battlefields of North The us and directly to the luch islands of the South Pacific. On this vigorous biography, creator Victor Suthren follows Bougainville’s career in North The us all through the Seven Years War and the American Revolution and his adventures within the South Seas. Written with a historian’s eye for detail, The Sea Has No End is an engaging portrait of probably the most stirring and dramatic events of the eighteenth century.
