The book is, in some ways, a prequel to the author's earlier book published by Helion & Co: The Last Ironsides: The English Expedition to Portugal 1662-1668. As such it shows how the troops that later went to Portugal and Tangier after Charles II's restoration in 1660 came to be at Dunkirk. Overall, the book rediscovers a series of episodes in British military history that have been forgotten, not detailed fully since Victorian times. No other modern books describe the full extent of this period of conflict, although there are books which detail several of the campaigns. This decade of early expeditionary warfare marked a change in English foreign policy from raiding the colonies of others, chiefly Spain, to becoming an imperial power.
