A forgotten clash that shaped empires — brought vividly to life.
In the spring of 1741, the fate of the New World hung in the balance.
At the height of the War of Jenkins’ Ear, one of the largest amphibious military campaigns in history descended upon the Caribbean coast. British forces—nearly 200 ships and over 25,000 men—set their sights on the fortified Spanish stronghold of Cartagena de Indias. Their goal: to break Spain’s grip on the Americas. What followed was a brutal and awe-inspiring siege filled with strategic brilliance, devastating miscalculations, tropical disease, and extraordinary acts of valor.
In Fortifications and Fury, Author Terry Sloan delivers a gripping, meticulously researched account of this pivotal but often overlooked battle. Drawing from firsthand accounts, military records, and naval dispatches, Sloan recreates the political intrigue, battlefield drama, and human stories behind the thunder of cannon fire and crumbling walls.
