Henning Hillmann examines the merchant community of Saint-Malo, Brittany, a key port in the French Atlantic economy, to shed light on the local networks that linked commerce and conflict in early modern Europe. He combines rich descriptions of privateering campaigns with quantitative network analysis of partnership ties over more than a century.
