Spycraft was one of Britain’s advantages during the 2nd hundred years war.

What were the other advantages Britain took into the end of the 2nd hundred years war? Pitt hired a number of reformers who drove through unpopular reforms in communications, shipyard construction and efficiency.

There were a number of reforms that also foundered, such as trying to remove the dockyard workers’ right of CHIPS.

We also cover the career of the naval captain/intelligence agent Phillippe D’Auvergne, who, despite his name, was a major intelligence asset for Britain.
