Gibraltar

Chris Grocott, Gareth Stockey

Description

This modern history of Gibraltar updates and enhances scholarship on the Rock's history by bringing together the author's extensive archival research and developments in the secondary literature surrounding British Gibraltar. Central to its narrative is an examination of the development of a Gibraltarian community amidst British imperial rise and decline and Anglo-Spanish diplomatic vicissitudes. Gibraltar: A Modern History, is the first twenty-first century treatment of the Rock's history and as such it augments and, in many ways, replaces older treatments of Gibraltar's History.
Introduction Chapter One: Gibraltar as British Fortress, 1704-1783 Chapter Two: Trading Outpost and Naval Base, 1783-1906 Chapter Three: Emergence of a Civilian Community, c. 1865-1954 Chapter Four: Relations with Spain, 1704-1969 Chapter Five: Gibraltar and the Gibraltarians, 1954 to the Present Conclusion

Acknowledgements

This work builds upon a combined total of twentyodd years of research into the history of Gibraltar undertaken by the authors. Over this period we have accrued many debts of gratitude. It is, of course, impossible to give sufficient acknowledgement to all such debts, but here we would like to mention a few. We are grateful for the support we have received in Gibraltar over the years, particularly from Lorna Swift, librarian of the Garrison Library; Tommy Finlayson and Dennis Beiso, archivists at the Gibraltar Govern ment Archive; and to Pepe Rosado for encouraging us in our work. Closer to home we are also grateful for the support, first as super visers, and now as fellow academics and friends, of Professor Martin Blinkhorn and Professor Stephen Constantine. Yet still closer to home we acknowledge and are thankful for the help and encouragement of both our families and of, in particular, Dr Jo Grady and Dr Helena Chadderton; without their support this, and many other projects, would not have been completed. As to any errors contained herein, these are entirely our own doing.
