About
Guy Chet is a historian of colonial and Revolutionary America. His first book, Conquering the American Wilderness, is a study of English and American military culture, highlighting continuity between the Old World and the New through themes of Americanization and Anglicization in American military history. This focus on transatlantic cultural cohesion also informs his second book, The Ocean is a Wilderness: Atlantic Piracy and the Limits of State Authority, as well as his work on the origins, nature, and ends of the American Revolution in The Colonists’ American Revolution: Preserving English Liberty. Although a specialist in early-modern history, Chet’s first love was and still is Roman history. His latest book, Endless Manpower: The Key to Rome’s Military Success, from the Punic Wars to the Jewish Wars, is a study of Rome’s eastward expansion.
