Includes 16 color plates, 60 b/w photos and illustrations.

Austria was one of the five major players of the Napoleonic Wars. In early 19th century, the Austrian army (Kaiserliche-KoniglicheHeer) was the third largest and one of the best-trained armies in the world. The individual regiments performed well and were considered solid. However, hampered by the inherent conservatism of the hierarchy, the Austrians had to face the most modern army in Europe.

Despite the many defeats suffered, the Austrian soldiers performed with discipline and played a central role in the coalitions against France, from the campaigns in 1790s, to the Austerlitz campaign of 1805, the closely balanced battles of 1809, and the final victorious campaigns of 1813-1814. Austrian cavalry, in particular, was considered one of the best in Europe by allies as well as enemies.

1-194560 Adler, Jeanne Winston editor CHAINBREAKER'S WAR: A Seneca Chief Remembers the American Revolution Edited for readability, Chainbreaker's War is the authentic narrative of Seneca war chief Chainbreaker (known to American colonists as Gov. Blacksnake) recounting his experiences during the American Revolution on the New York and Pennsylvania frontiers from 1777 to 1783. Chainbreaker's story begins shortly after the first shots were fired in the American War for Independence. He was present at summit meetings in Pittsburgh and Albany when American delegations tried to convince the Iroquois to stay neutral, and he was also at Niagara when British officers successfully swayed Iroquois opinion with a display of wealth and force, veiled threats, and gifts of guns and scalping knives, leading to an alliance with Britain that was to have tragic consequences for thousands of colonists and the entire Iroquois nation.

Chainbreaker's war path led him to some of the fiercest battles and most devastating raids of the Revolution, beginning with the desperate hand-to-hand battle at Oriskany where 'blood was shed in a stream running down the descending ground,' and ending with valiant but vain attempts to stop Continental armies from destroying Iroquois settlements. At the close of the war, Chainbreaker met former adversary George Washington for treaty negotiations and became an emissary for peace to still-hostile western Indian nations.

'I killed. How many I could not tell, for I paid no attention nor kept an account of it. It was a great many. I have thought of it often since, that it was very sinful in the sight of God. Oh, I do think so! But again, I have thought that it was done in honor to protect our own country.' -- Chainbreaker 1 vol, 224 pgs 2002 US, BLACK DOME PRESS

1-203550 Antal, Colonel, John 7 LEADERSHIP LESSONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION: The Founding Fathers, Liberty, and the Struggle for Independence This book is about leadership. It tells the dramatic story of seven defining leadership moments from the American Revolution.

On these pages you learn about real people facing historic challenges and overcoming what reasonable observers believed were insurmountable odds. More reasonable people might have surrendered or given up. Many reasonable people did. These leaders, thankfully, were unreasonable for the cause of Liberty.

The leadership skills told in these stories are timeless and telling. These leadership stories tell the story of the birth of the United States as well as providing case studies that can improve your leadership at home, business, in your community, in the military or in government. If you wish to improve your personal leadership skill, this book provides the role models for you to study.

Leadership is not about position, it is about influence. You can be a leader no matter what your rank or position. It is not about power, it is about selflessness. You cannot be a good leader unless you can also be a good follower. Good leaders don't shine, they reflect. Lessons like these are the core of this book. The stories in this book are about leaders who were challenged at all corners, adapted, improvised and overcame to win. Leaders like Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, Henry Knox, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington, to name a few, are stories you will want to know and tell.

These leaders knew how to impel teams to succeed under the toughest conditions. These stories will come alive on the pages of this book to fuel your leadership fire and make you a better leader in any endeavor. 1 vol, 240 pgs 2013 US, CASEMATE

1-64650 Atwood, Rodney HESSIONS, THE The Hessians are infamous in American history for their role as part of the British forces sent to crush the colonists' rebellion in 1776. Yet these German auxiliaries, or mercenaries were only one instance of a frequent military practice, approved by international jurists of the time and used by the British in all their eighteenth-century wars. This study (dealing with one of the six contingents known inaccurately as the Hessians) is the first to make extensive use of manuscript sources in Germany, Britain and America to put the Hessians in their historical context and to examine a number of the myths about them. The encounter of the Americans with the Hessian troops from a disciplined paternalistic society organized for war, with special thoroughness, was not merely the meeting of two military systems, but also of two ways of life, and is thus worthy of study in an age of conflict.

THE 1776-1777 NORTHERN CAMPAIGNS OF THE AMERICAN WAR FOR INDEPENDENCE AND THEIR SEQUEL: Contemporary Maps of Mainly German Origin 12x9 with 24 color maps and 8 pages of color uniform plates. The 1776-1777 Northern Campaigns is the first, full-scale presentation in atlas form of the two abortive British-German invasions of New York (Gen. Carleton in 1776 and Gen Burgoyne in 1777) -- events crucial to understanding the rebel American victory in the War for Independence.

The bulk of the maps are from the German archives. The material has previously been little used by researchers in the United States due to linguistic and handwriting barriers. The volume includes transcriptions, translations, and detailed textual analysis of the naval and land operations of 1776 and 1777. It is written from an unusual military-historical perspective -- British, German, loyalist, French Canadian, and First American.

The attack of Benedict Arnold and Richard Montgomery on Quebec City, the colonial assailants' repulse and withdrawal to the Province of New York and the Hudson River corridor, prior actions in the adjacent St. Lawrence-Richelieu river region of Canada, the Battle of Valcour Island on Lake Champlain, the forts at Crown Point and Ticonderoga, and the Battles of Bennington and Saratoga all receive detailed attention.

The last section of the atlas deals with the less known, final phase of combat, in which the British, Germans, refugee tories, Quebec militia, and Amerindians kept the insurgents off balance by mounting numerous small-scale expeditions into New York.

1-227530 Barry, Quintin CRISIS AT THE CHESAPEAKE: The Royal Navy and the Struggle for America 1775-1783 By the end of 1780, the war for American independence appeared to be approaching a stalemate. After five years of war, Washington's armies remained in the field. Once France, and then Spain, joined the war, Lord Sandwich as First Lord of the Admiralty was faced with a constant struggle to balance the forces needed at home and overseas, while facing constant hostile pressure from the opposition. Includes 18 b/w illustrations and 6 b/w maps.

However, events were conspiring to bring about a showdown in North America, which would take place in the waters off Chesapeake Bay. This book describes how, step by step, the crisis was reached. After France had accepted the need for a major effort to support the Americans, Count de Grasse arrived in the West Indies in April 1781 with a large fleet, intending to arrive off the North American coast in July. Once he had opted to sail to Virginia, Washington began to move south. Meanwhile Lord Cornwallis, the British commander in the Carolinas, had chosen without authority to march to Virginia, where he arrived in May to link up with a force that had been sent to establish a naval base in the Chesapeake.

De Grasse reached Chesapeake Bay with his whole fleet at the end of August, outnumbering the British fleet under Graves which arrived on 5 September. The battle that followed was indecisive, though the French had the best of it. Cornwallis was now besieged at Yorktown by Washington; a force intended to relieve him arrived too late and on 19 October he capitulated at Yorktown. The war for American independence was decisively lost; all that remained was a bitter debate as to who was to blame. 1 vol, 132 pgs 2021 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-231280 Barry, Quintin FROM USHANT TO GIBRALTAR: The Channel Fleet 1778-1783 In 1778, when the expected war finally broke with France, Lord Sandwich, the long serving First Lord of the Admiralty, had to find the resources to match the French fleet not only in the Channel but in other theaters of war such as the West Indies, the Mediterranean, and the Indian Ocean. In addition, the Royal Navy had to protect Britain's extensive maritime commerce, covering the large inbound and outbound convoys on which the country's economy depended. This book is a study of the men who led and the men who managed, both afloat and ashore, the Channel Fleet.

In 1778 it was commanded by Admiral Augustus Keppel; third in command was a member of the Board of Admiralty, Vice Admiral Hugh Palliser. On 27 July it engaged the French fleet commanded by d'Orvilliers. The battle was inconclusive, both sides claiming the victory. During the battle Palliser's flagship suffered particularly. At the time, no issue arose between Keppel and Palliser as to the course of the battle, but when, in late October, the latter came ashore he was shown a newspaper that suggested that he was to blame for Keppel's failure to continue the battle. He was furious, but Keppel refused to sign a statement clearing Palliser's name. The dispute escalated; Palliser demanded Keppel's court martial but he was acquitted, as was Palliser himself when he in his turn was court-martialed. The navy's officer corps was profoundly divided, and it caused lasting damage.

After Sandwich, the most important naval administrator was the outspoken Sir Charles Middleton, the Comptroller of the Navy. He was responsible for two key innovations - the coppering of ships hull's which protected them against damaging marine growths and significantly increased their speed, and the introduction of the cannonade, a lighter cannon of shorter range but greater hitting power. Middleton enjoyed a close relationship with Richard Kempenfelt who was arguably the ablest sea officer on either side. With Lord Howe, Kempenfelt was responsible for the introduction of a new system of signaling. He won a striking victory when attacking a heavily defended French convoy in 1781 but tragically died in 1782 when his flagship the Royal George sank at her moorings at Spithead. Throughout the war the French and Spanish planned the invasion of southern England. The enormous Combined Fleet appeared first in the Channel in 1779, but although causing a panic when it arrived off Plymouth, it was suffering from an epidemic of smallpox and abandoned the attempt.

In 1782, with the fall of Lord North's ministry, Sandwich left the Admiralty. Vilified by nineteenth century writers, his reputation has been largely restored by more recent historians. 1 vol, 364 pgs 2022 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-243030 Barry, Quintin SUFFREN VERSUS HUGHES: War in the Indian Ocean 1781-1783 Describes the naval campaign between Britain and France for mastery of the Indian Ocean in the closing years of the War of American Independence. It is effectively the third volume of a trilogy recording the history of the Royal Navy during this period -- the earlier volumes being Crisis at the Chesapeake (2021) and From Ushant to Gibraltar (2022). In the course of their hard-fought campaign, the British and French fought five battles, none of which produced the decisive victory which each sought. Includes 11 b/w illustrations, 9 b/w maps, and 5 tables.

Describes the political, economic and military background created by the impact of the British East India Company upon the complex system of the various dynasties that ruled India. Discusses abilities of the respective commanders. Sir Edward Hughes and Pierre-Andre de Suffren were very different men, who brought to their commands contrasting approaches to the particular problems of naval warfare of the eighteenth century. Hughes was a very typical product of the traditions of the Royal Navy, a patient and careful exponent of all that he had learned from his training and experience. Suffren, on the other hand, was atypical of French admirals of the period -- he was bold, aggressive, and innovative, and quite impatient of the stately conventions of sea battles of the period. 1 vol, 126 pgs 2024 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-205230 Bennett, David A FEW LAWLESS VAGABONDS: Ethan Allen, the Republic of Vermont, and the American Revolution A Few Lawless Vagabonds is an account of the three-way relationship between Ethan Allen, the Republic of Vermont (1777-1791) and the British in Canada during the American Revolution, a work of political and military history. Ethan Allen was a prime mover in the establishment of the Republic (though he was a captive of the British, 1775-1778), then led the fight to maintain its independence from the 'predatory states' of New Hampshire, New York and Massachusetts; from the American Continental Congress; and from British attacks on the new state.

In order to defend Vermont's independence, Ethan Allen engaged in secret, unlawful negotiations with the British in Canada, aimed at turning Vermont into a 'separate Government under the Crown.' The attempts of the Allen family to maintain Vermont's independence from its neighbors were successful: Vermont became the 14th State in 1791.

A Few Lawless Vagabonds is the first systematic attempt, using archival sources, to show that the Allens were utterly serious in their aim to turn Vermont into a Crown colony, a project which came close to success late in 1781.

The Ethan Allen that emerges is not as a warrior hero of the American Revolution but as a successful Vermont nationalist who is justly celebrated as the principal founder of the State of Vermont, a rare combination of patriot and betrayer of the public trust. The British leaders who were Ethan's opposite numbers emerge in turn as thoroughly capable military officers and diplomatic negotiators: Sir Henry Clinton, Sir Guy Carleton, and Sir Frederick Haldimand. 1 vol, 336 pgs 2014 US, CASEMATE PUBLISHING

They used their tanks in armored divisions -- the only time in the war they deployed such concentrations.

They had three broad objectives: Open a land and rail route across China to their southern conquests in Indochina and the Dutch East Indies (and bypass the US submarine blockade along the Chinese seacoast); Eliminate all the US B-29 bomber bases in China; and at a minimum, severely degrade Nationalist Chinese capabilities and in the best case, maybe even knock the Nationalists out of the war.

Magazine includes two-player wargame with 22x34-inch mapsheet and 252 die-cut counters to fight out the entire operation, as well as bonus solitaire rules with the player commanding Japanese forces to capture B-29 bases (using the same map and counters).

In the two-player game, depending on Japanese success, the US might launch Operation Causeway, the invasion of Formosa and the Chinese mainland, which had been drawn up and contemplated at the time instead of invading the Philippines.

So, how were the poorly trained, poorly supplied Continental infantry able to hold their own and shape the outcome of the Revolutionary War and establish the future of their young nation?

David Bonk answers this question in a highly illustrated book that looks at the challenges facing both armies, weighing up how each side was able to cope with the day-to-day experiences of the war and using extensive first-hand accounts to allow a modern audience to experience what life was like for soldiers on and off the battlefield during the war.

1-217920 Bonk, David C MEN WHO ARE DETERMINED TO BE FREE: The American Assault on Stony Point, 15 July 1779 Although he had established a strong position at Stony Point, British General Sir William Clinton still lacked the resources to strike further up the Hudson at West Point without exposing New York City to a sudden attack by the Americans. The delay in the anticipated return of 5,000 men from the West Indies and expected reinforcements from England continued to flummox Clinton and after the return of Tyron's Connecticut raiding party Clinton returned to New York to consider his options.

Soon after the British capture of Stony Point, American General George Washington began to develop an audacious plan to recapture the strongpoint and restore American fortunes. After organizing an elite force of light infantry, Washington assigned command to Brigadier General Anthony Wayne. Washington and Wayne spent several days observing the British position at Stony Point and collecting intelligence on British defenses. Washington proposed a night time assault and worked with Wayne to finalize plans for the attack.

At midnight on 15 July, 1779 Wayne led 1,300 picked men against the British defenders of Stony Point. The British force included the 380 men of the 17th Foot and elements of the Loyal American provincial regiment and 71st Highlanders as well as Royal Artillery with 15 cannon deployed to defend the hilltop position. Attacking in two columns with unloaded muskets, the Americans used their bayonets to overwhelm the British defenders. In little over one hour the American light infantry captured Stony Point. 63 British defenders were killed, 61 wounded and 543 captured. American losses were 13 dead and 63 wounded. Wayne, although slightly wounded early in the assault, demanded to be carried in to the British positions and early on the morning of 16 July 1779 prepared a brief report for Washington detailing the American success.

With news of the American victory Washington quickly rode to the fort to congratulate Wayne and his men. Recognizing that he had neither the troops nor the resources needed to defend Stony Point against an expected British counter attack Washington ordered all supplies and arms to be removed, prisoners marched into captivity and the fortifications destroyed. Although the British did successfully reoccupy Stony Point several days later, the Americans trumpeted their unexpected victory and a chagrined General Clinton concluded a further offensive up the Hudson River towards West Point would be pointless. 1 vol, 136 pgs 2018 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-204370 Brayall, Richard WASHINGTON'S SAVIOUR: General John Glover and the American Revolution Even today, he still stands guard over Boston, watching all who approach the 'cradle of the Revolution' by way of Huntingdon Avenue. His visage remains as strong and determined in bronze as it was in real-life flesh and blood.

John Glover has been at this post since 1828, when a grateful Commonwealth of Massachusetts erected this statue to honor the general from Marblehead and his men who time and time again saved the American Revolution from total and final defeat.

A true son of Massachusetts, John Glover impressed George Washington at first sight, and the General continued to call on him for special service throughout the war. Glover developed the first American navy early in the conflict, and his ship Hannah was the first armed vessel to fly American colors. Glover and his men saved Washington, the entire army and the Revolution itself at the battles of Brooklyn and Pell's Point on Long Island. Then, on a cold and wintry night in December of 1776, the 'web-footed warriors' from Marblehead rowed the army across the ice-choked Delaware River to Trenton where Washington won his most famous and his most needed victory.

This book, based on letters, diaries, memoirs and contemporary papers, makes note that Glover was many things to many people and also had his set of demons to fight. And it shows that John Glover was, as the statue noted, at his best as a soldier of the Revolution. Several photographs and an index to full-names, places and subjects add to the value of this work. 1 vol, 292 pgs 2013 US, HERITAGE BOOKS

These men led Rebel militia from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia in an effort to disrupt British operations and their Loyalist support. The colonels and other leaders led mounted Rebel militia in a sweeping and bloody guerilla war that played an essential role in opening a path to the eventual British surrender at Yorktown and Britain's loss of America.

On August 19, 1780, near a ford of the Enoree River in northwest South Carolina, a short and savage encounter occurred between Rebel militia and a combined force of Loyalist militia and Provincial regulars. Despite the Rebel's being outnumbered more than two to one, it was an overwhelming victory for the American cause. The Rebels defended from the top of a ridge, inflicted heavy casualties on the Loyalist force as it advanced, then charged and drove the enemy from the field of battle. 1 vol, 144 pgs 2022 US, WESTHOLME PUBLISHING

1-199620 Burgoyne, Bruce These Were the Hessians  The ultimate outcome of the American Revolutionary War was foreordained when England turned to the European continent to obtain soldiers. Rulers of six small German states (Hesse-Cassel, Hesse-Hanau, Brunswick, Waldeck, Ansbach-Bayreuth, and Anhalt-Zerbst) signed treaties with England whereby troop units were placed in English service. These Hessians represented one-third of all combatants serving the Crown during the American Revolutionary War.

They were good soldiers; however, they may have been one of the primary reasons that England lost her American colonies. They came as enemies, but many became compatriots and fellow-fighters for freedom and the independence of the United States. This detailed account of the Hessian's contribution to this nation's growth includes the Waldeck Articles of War, 1775 (both the German and English versions); and examines the role of women with the Hessian units. Seven color plates and a bibliography enhance the text.

1-219080 Carpenter, Stanley SOUTHERN GAMBIT: Cornwallis and the British March to Yorktown Outlines the British strategic and operational objectives, devoting particular attention to the strategy of employing Southern Loyalists to help defeat Patriot forces, reestablish royal authority, and tamp down resurgent Patriot activity. Focuses on Cornwallis' operations in the Carolinas and Virginia that ultimately led to the surrender at Yorktown in October 1781. Reveals the flaws in this approach, most notably a fatal misunderstanding of the nature of the war in the South and of the Loyalists' support. Compounding this was the strategic incoherence of seeking a conventional war against a brilliant, unconventional opponent, and doing so amidst a breakdown in the unity of command.

1-199580 Cecere, Michael WEDDED TO MY SWORD: The Revolutionary War Service of Light Horse Harry Lee 'I believe few Officers either in America or Europe are held in so high a point of estimation as you are.' --Gen. Nathanael Greene to 'Light Horse' Harry Lee - January 27, 1782.

The sentiment expressed by General Nathanael Greene, an officer whose military contributions to American independence are second only to General George Washington, captures the view of most Americans in 1782 regarding Light Horse Harry Lee. In early 1782, twenty-six year old Lieutenant Colonel Lee commanded a legion of mounted and dismounted dragoons that had just completed a spectacular year of military service in the South. Lee's efforts in 1781, in conjunction with General Greene and the American southern army, resulted in the British loss of most of South Carolina and Georgia.

Over the course of 1781, Lee and his legion, often detached from Greene's army, helped screen Greene's desperate retreat to Virginia and then, a few weeks later, captured or destroyed numerous enemy outposts and detachments in South Carolina and Georgia. Lee and his legion played a crucial role in the bloody battles of Guilford Courthouse and Eutaw Springs and the sieges of Augusta and Ninety-Six.

The extraordinary service of Lee and his men in 1781 capped what had already been five years of distinguished military service for Lee. He had reported to General Washington's army as a twenty year old cavalry captain in 1777 and quickly earned a reputation as a bold commander. Lee's daring exploits at Valley Forge, Powles Hook and Springfield, like his extraordinary service in the south, are all chronicled within this book. Readers will undoubtedly conclude that Lee made the right decision when he declined General Washington's invitation in 1778 to join his staff as an aide-de-camp with the assertion that, 'I am wedded to my sword.'

1-199600 Cecere, Michael THEY ARE INDEED A VERY USEFUL CORPS: American Riflemen in the Revolutionary War The story of America's riflemen in the Revolutionary War begins with their formation in 1775. First person accounts of their recruitment, long march, and encampment at Boston, introduce readers to the flamboyant and sometimes unruly nature of riflemen. Gripping eyewitness accounts of Benedict Arnold's march and attack on Quebec and of the battles of Long Island, Harlem Heights, Throg's Neck, Fort Washington, Trenton, Princeton, and Brandywine, highlight the unique abilities of riflemen and their important role in the war.

Nowhere is this role more evident than in the American victory at Saratoga. First hand accounts of the battle provide a detailed image of the fight and the crucial part Daniel Morgan's riflemen played. The importance of riflemen is also evident in their service on the frontier of New York and in the southern battles of King's Mountain and Cowpens, all of which are chronicled by participants. The numerous primary accounts of riflemen in the war help readers better understand and appreciate the service of these men and may cause them to conclude, as General Washington did in 1776, that the riflemen are indeed a very useful corps.

Several maps, bibliography, and an index to names, places and subjects enhance the text. 1 vol, 238 pgs 2007 US, HERITAGE PRESS

1-208250 Cecere, Michael SECOND TO NO MAN BUT THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF: Hugh Mercer: American Patriot Mercer was not a native of the American colonies. He fled from Scotland in 1746 after the Battle of Culloden and settled on the Pennsylvania frontier to avoid possible arrest for his participation at Culloden. When the French and Indian War erupted nearly a decade later, Mercer's neighbors tapped him to command a company of militia. Mercer quickly rose in the ranks and eventually commanded a battalion of Pennsylvania provincial soldiers as well as the garrison at Fort Pitt (captured Fort Duquesne).

After seven years of military service, Mercer was discharged from the Pennsylvania Regiment in 1761 and settled in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He married, raised a family, and established a very successful medical practice. When the decade long political dispute with Great Britain turned violent in 1775, Virginia's political leaders considered Hugh Mercer for command of one of Virginia's two regiments of regular troops.

After two close ballots, the Virginia Convention opted instead to appoint Virginia natives Patrick Henry and William Woodford to command. Mercer was selected a few months later to command the 3rd Virginia Regiment, but six months after his appointment the Continental Congress elevated him to the rank of Brigadier General in the Continental Army and he left Virginia to assume command of the newly formed Flying Camp in New Jersey.

While he served in the northern theater, Mercer played a critical role in the battles of Trenton and Princeton, two battles that helped save the American army and American independence. Sadly, General Mercer did not live to see the victorious end to America's struggle; he was mortally wounded at the Battle of Princeton in 1777. Congress honored Mercer with a statue that still stands in Fredericksburg and several townships and counties have honored his memory by taking his name.

This book chronicles Mercer's life and service and in doing so validate the observation of Major James Wilkinson, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, who wrote that: In General Mercer we lost a chief, who for education, experience, talents, disposition, integrity, and patriotism, was second to no man but the commander in chief, and was qualified to fill the highest trusts of the country. 1 vol, 200 pgs 2015 US, HERITAGE BOOKS

1-209210 Cecere, Michael AN OFFICER OF VERY EXTRAORDINARY MERIT: Charles Porterfield and the American War for Independence: 1775-1780 Charles Porterfield was one of many Virginians who helped secure America's independence. He served in Daniel Morgan's rifle company at Boston and Quebec. He commanded a company in Morgan's 11th Virginia Regiment as well as William Maxwell's Light Infantry Corps.

Porterfield fought in the battles of Cooches Bridge, Brandywine, Germantown, and Monmouth, and endured the hardships of Valley Forge. He returned to Virginia in 1779 and served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the state garrison regiment. In 1780, he led a relief detachment to South Carolina and initiated the Battle of Camden.

The distinguished service of Charles Porterfield and his men is chronicled through numerous first person accounts. The excitement caused by the riflemen at Boston, the grueling march through the wilderness of Maine, the storming of Quebec in a blizzard, the action at Cooches Bridge, Brandywine, Germantown, the hardships at Valley Forge, and lastly, in one of the best first person narratives of the Revolutionary War, the early morning engagement between Colonel Porterfield's and Colonel Tarleton's advance guards at Camden, are all vividly described in the book.

Charles Porterfield, and the men he served with, endured much for the cause of liberty. Their service is remembered here, in their own words. Includes maps, bibliography, and an index. 1 vol, 180 pgs 2015 US, HERITAGE BOOKS

His letters are full of inquires and instructions for his children, and express pride and concern for the men of his company.

Struggles in camp and on the march, encounters with fellow officers and local inhabitants, and the hopes and expectations of Chilton and his men are highlighted. The Third Virginia Regiment was the first unit of Virginia regulars to join General Washington's army in New York.

1-213980 Cecere, Michael THE INVASION OF VIRGINIA: 1781 The American War for Independence was fought in nearly every colony, but some colonies witnessed far more conflict than others. In the first half of the war, the bulk of military operations were concentrated in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. A shift in British strategy southward after the Battle of Monmouth in 1778 triggered numerous military engagements in 1779 and 1780 in Georgia and the Carolinas.

Surprisingly, Virginia, the largest of the original thirteen colonies, saw relatively little fighting for the first six years of the Revolutionary War. This changed in 1781 when British and American forces converged on Virginia. The war's arrival did not result from one particular decision or event, but rather, a series of incidents and battles beginning in the fall of 1780 at Kings Mountain, South Carolina.

Benedict Arnold's sudden appearance in Virginia in early 1781 with 1,600 seasoned British troops and his successful raid up the James River to Richmond and subsequent occupation of Portsmouth, demonstrated Virginia's vulnerability to attack and the possibility that the colonies could be divided and subdued piecemeal, a strategy Britain had attempted to deploy several times earlier in the war.

British General Henry Clinton's decision to reinforce Arnold in Virginia expanded Britain's hold on the colony while events in North Carolina, including the battle of Guilford Court House, led British General Charles Cornwallis to conclude that defeating the Patriots in Virginia was the key to ending the war. As a result, Cornwallis marched his army north in May 1781 to assume command of what was now a very powerful British force of over 7,000 troops. The war had returned to Virginia with a vengeance, and how it did so and what happened as a result is the focus of The Invasion of Virginia 1781. 1 vol, 240 pgs 2017 US, WESTHOLME PUBLISHING

1-199960 Corbett, Theodore NO TURNING POINT: The Saratoga Campaign in Perspective The Battle of Saratoga in 1777 ended with British General John Burgoyne surrendering to the American rebel army commanded by General Horatio Gates. Historians have long seen Burgoyne's defeat as a turning point in the American Revolution because it convinced France to join the war on the side of the colonies, thus ensuring American victory. But that traditional view of Saratoga overlooks the complexity of the situation on the ground.

Setting the battle in its social and political context, Theodore Corbett examines Saratoga and its aftermath as part of ongoing conflicts among the settlers of the Hudson and Champlain valleys of New York, Canada, and Vermont. This long, more local view reveals that the American victory actually resolved very little. He examines the roles not only of enlisted Patriot and Redcoat soldiers but also of landowners, tenant farmers, townspeople, American Indians, Loyalists, and African Americans.

He begins the story in the 1760s, when the first large influx of white settlers arrived in the New York and New England backcountry. Ethnic and religious strife marked relations among the colonists from the outset. Conflicting claims issued by New York and New Hampshire to the area that eventually became Vermont turned the skirmishes into a veritable civil war.

These pre-Revolution conflicts - which determined allegiances during the Revolution - were not affected by the military outcome of the Battle of Saratoga. After Burgoyne's defeat, the British retained control of the upper Hudson-Champlain valley and mobilized Loyalists and Native allies to continue successful raids there even after the Revolution. The civil strife among the colonists continued into the 1780s, as the American victory gave way to violent strife amounting to class warfare. Corbett ends his story with conflicts over debt in Vermont, New Hampshire, and finally Massachusetts, where the sack of Stockbridge - part of Shay's Rebellion in 1787 - was the last of the civil disruptions that had roiled the landscape for the previous twenty years. 1 vol, 416 pgs 2012 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

1-205720 Corrado, Dr. Gary THE BLACK HUSSARS: A Brief and Concise History of Frederick Diemar's Hussars Captain Diemar's Troop of Hussars was raised in 1779. This unit was composed mainly of escaped German prisoners of war from the various Brunswick regiments that had accompanied Burgoyne at Saratoga. Having made their way back to New York without their officers, these men had become somewhat unruly but were well suited for service in a unique independent hussar troop. Hussars were cavalry troops who dressed lightly, traveled quickly on fast horses and could inflict a devastating blow on the enemy at just the right moment during battle.

Diemar's Hussars found themselves attached to Provincial regiments, including Tarleton's Legion and the Queen's Rangers, and they served in the environs of the British garrison in New York City. They were involved in numerous skirmishes in the area known as the 'no-man's land' in Westchester County, participated in raids into New Jersey, and patrolled the north shore of Long Island against Connecticut whaleboat raiders.

The Rangers also had a hussar company, and given the fact that the Black Hussars, as they were to become known, spent much of their time with, and eventually were joined to the Rangers, their dress was similar. The illustration on the cover depicts their previously unknown appearance, based on documentation which is presented in this work. 1 vol, 48 pgs 2005 US, HERITAGE BOOKS

It unpacks intricate military maneuvers on land and sea, introduces the personalities presiding over each side's strategy, and reinterprets the vagaries of colonial politics to offer a thrilling response to one of our most vexing historical questions: How could a fledgling nation have defeated the most powerful war machine of the era? 1 vol, 432 pgs 2016 US, W.

1-220910 Desmarais, Norman AMERICA'S FIRST ALLY: France in the Revolutionary War This is a comprehensive look at how France influenced the American Revolutionary War in a variety of ways; intellectually, financially, and militarily. It raises the crucial question of whether America could have won its independence without the aid of France. Includes 20 black and white illustrations and maps.

The book begins with an overview of the intellectual and ideological contributions of the French Enlightenment thinkers, called the philosophes, to the American and French revolutions. It then moves to cover the many forms of aid provided by France to support America during the Revolutionary War. This ranged from the covert aid France supplied America before her official entry into the war, to the French outfitters and merchants who provided much-needed military supplies to the Americans.

When the war began, the colonists thought the French would welcome an opportunity to retaliate and regain their country. France also provided naval assistance, particularly to the American privateers who harassed British shipping and contributed to the increased shipping rates which added to Great Britain's economic hardships. France's military involvement in the war was equally as important.

Looks at the contributions of individual French officers and troops, arguing that America could not have won without them and explores the international nature of a war which some people have called the first world war. When France and Spain entered the conflict, they fought the Crown forces in their respective areas of economic interest. In addition to the engagements in the Atlantic Ocean, along the American and European coasts and in the West Indies, there are accounts of action in India and the East Indies, South America and Africa.

Also included are accounts drawn from ships' logs, court and auction records, newspapers, letters, diaries, journals, and pension applications. 1 vol, 312 pgs 2019 US, CASEMATE

Louis-Francois-Bertrand, the Count of Lauberdiere, belonged to an old noble family that traced its heritage back to the Crusades. Moreover, he served as aide-de-camp to his uncle -- General Rochambeau, the commander of all French forces in America.

This is a translated edition of young Louis-Francois-Bertrand's diary that covers 1780-1783. He interacted with some of the Revolution's most important personalities (including George Washington and Lafayette), and was in the epicenter of many of the war's momentous events. His journal covers a host of topics in remarkable detail, including descriptions of the French army's camp in Newport, Rhode Island, the long march to Yorktown, the siege, and capture, and a fascinating examination of the people and their distinctive colonial culture.

1-972010 Diamond, Jon 010 CHINDIT vs JAPANESE INFANTRYMAN: 1943-44 In order to keep China in the war against the Japanese, the Western Allies believed they had to return to Northern Burma. Colonel Orde Wingate, a military maverick and proponent of guerrilla warfare, knew that a different type of British infantryman was required for this role - the Chindit, indoctrinated with special training - to re-enter the jungles and mountains of Northern Burma in order to combat the victorious Japanese forces there.

The Chindits' opponents would include the 18th Division, one of Imperial Japan's most seasoned formations, which by 1941 had already accumulated as much operational experience as most Anglo-American divisions would acquire in the entire 1939-45 war.

In a host of encounters the two sides clashed repeatedly in the harsh conditions of the Burmese jungle; the intended role and subsequent operational performance of the Chindits remains fraught with controversy today. Featuring full-color artwork, specially drawn maps, and archive photographs, this study offers key insights into the tactics, leadership, combat performance, and subsequent reputations of six representative Chindit and Japanese infantry. 1 vol, 80 pgs 2015 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING

1-222560 Dillon, John All at Sea - Naval Support for the British Army During the American Revolutionary War The American Revolutionary War was a conflict that Britain did not want, and for which it was not prepared. The British Army in America at the end of 1774 was only 3,000 strong, with a further 6,000 to arrive by the time that the conflict started in the spring of 1775. The Royal Navy, on which the British depended for the defence of its shores, trade and far-flung colonies, had been much reduced as a result of the economies that followed the Seven Years War. 9 b/w maps, 9 tables

In 1775 the problem facing government ministers, the War Office, and the Admiralty was how to reinforce, maintain and supply an army (that grew to over 90,000 men) while blockading the American coast and defending Britain's many interests around the world; a problem that got bigger when France entered the war in 1778. With a 3,000 mile supply line, taking six to eight weeks for a passage, the scale of the undertaking was enormous.

Too often in military histories the focus is on the clash of arms, with little acknowledgement of the vital role of that neglected stepchild - logistics. In All At Sea, John Dillon concentrates on the role of the Navy in supporting, supplying and transporting the British Army during the war in America. Because of individual egos, other strategic priorities, and the number of ships available, that support was not always at the level the British public expected. However, without the navy the war could not have been fought at all.

2-37230 Dohla, Johann Conrad trans by Bruce E. Burgoyne HESSIAN DIARY OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION This unique diary, written by one of the thirty thousand Hessian troops whose services were sold to George III to suppress the American Revolution, is the most complete and informative primary account of the Revolution from the common soldier's point of view. Johann Conrad D?hla describes not just military activities but also events leading up to the Revolution, American customs, the cities and regions that he visited, and incidents in other parts of the world that affected the war. He also evaluates the important military commanders, giving readers an insight into how the enlisted men felt about their leaders and opponents.

Private D?hla crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1777 as a private in the Ansbach-Bayreuth contingent of Hessian mercenaries. His American sojourn began in June 1777 in New York. Then, after several months on Staten Island and Manhatten, the Ansbach-Bayreuth regiments traveled to the thriving seaport of Newport, Rhode Island, where they spent more than a year before the British forces evacuated the area.

The Ansbach-Bayreuth regiments returned briefly to the New York New Jersey area before they were sent to reinforce the English command in Virginia. Eventually D?hla participated in the battle of Yorktown-of which he provides a vivid description-before enduring two years as a prisoner of war after Cornwallis's surrender.

Bruce E. Burgoyne has provided an accurate translation, helpful notes for scholars and general readers, and an introduction on the Ansbach-Bayreuth regiments and the history of Johann Conrad D?hla and his diary. This first edition of the diary in English will delight all who are interested in the American Revolution and the thirteen original colonies.

1-235180 Dunkerly, Robert UNHAPPY CATASTROPHES: The American Revolution in Central New Jersey, 1776-1782 Follows the course of the war and details lesser-known battles, military campsites, raids, espionage, and more. Includes historic sites, markers, and websites to visit for further research and study. This part of New Jersey saw more action during the Revolution than anywhere else in the young nation and has been called the Cockpit of the Revolution. To truly understand the war, look at central New Jersey.

Central New Jersey witnessed many small battles and important events during the American Revolution. This area saw it all: from spies and espionage, to military encampments like Morristown and Middlebrook, to mutinies, raids, and full-blown engagements like Bound Brook, Short Hills, and Springfield. The British had their own catastrophes too. So did civilians caught in the middle.

In the fall of 1776, British forces drove the Americans out and secured the state. Following the battles of Trenton and Princeton, New Jersey became a battleground. The spring of 1777 saw the formation of a new Continental Army, one that served the rest of the war. That spring, British and American forces clashed in a series of small but sharp battles. By summer, British General Howe tried to lure Washington into a major engagement, but the Americans avoided the trap. As the conflict dragged on, civilians became engulfed in the fray, and a bitter civil war erupted, continuing until the end of the conflict. 1 vol, 192 pgs 2022 US, SAVAS BEATIE

1-202060 Edgar, Gregory T CAMPAIGN 1776: The Road to Trenton In July 1776, after more than a year of war, the Continental Congress declared independence from England. The year's events are tracked in this narrative, which is interspersed with eyewitness descriptions and journal accounts that bring the action into focus.

After the Continental Army forced the British out of Boston in March, everything seemed to go downhill. A series of morale-draining defeats threatened the very existence of George Washington's army. With the end of the year approaching and enlistments about to expire, and perhaps with them the Revolution itself, Washington concluded, 'desperate times require desperate solutions.' He led his remnant of an army across the Delaware on Christmas night, and marched through a blizzard to surprise the enemy at Trenton, New Jersey.

1-227560 Elliot, Steven SURVIVING THE WINTERS: Housing Washington's Army During the American Revolution Documents the growth of Washington and his subordinates as military administrators and offers a telling new perspective on the commander's generalship during the Revolutionary War. At the same time, the book demonstrates that these winter encampments stand alongside more famous battlefields as sites where American independence was won.

George Washington and his Continental Army braving the frigid winter at Valley Forge form an iconic image in the popular history of the American Revolution. Such winter camps, Steven Elliott tells us in Surviving the Winters, were also a critical factor in the waging and winning of the War of Independence. Exploring the inner workings of the Continental Army through the prism of its encampments, this book is the first to show how camp construction and administration played a crucial role in Patriot strategy during the war.

As Elliott reminds us, Washington's troops spent only a few days a year in combat. The rest of the time, especially in the winter months, they were engaged in a different sort of battle -- against the elements, unfriendly terrain, disease, and hunger. Victory in that more sustained struggle depended on a mastery of camp construction, logistics, and health and hygiene -- the components that Elliott considers in his environmental, administrative, and operational investigation of the winter encampments at Middlebrook, Morristown, West Point, New Windsor, and Valley Forge.

Beyond the encampments' basic function of sheltering soldiers, his study reveals their importance as a key component of Washington's Fabian strategy: stationed on secure, mountainous terrain close to New York, the camps allowed the Continental commander-in-chief to monitor the enemy but avoid direct engagement, thus neutralizing a numerically superior opponent while husbanding his own strength. 1 vol, 408 pgs 2021 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

In Bayonets in the Wilderness, Alan D. Gaff explores a long-neglected period in American history to tell the complete story of how the U.S. Army conquered the first American frontier-the Northwest Territory. Wayne's successful campaign led to the creation of a standing army for the country and set the standard for future conflicts and treaties with American Indians. Countering the popular impression of Wayne as 'mad,' Gaff depicts him as a thoughtful, resolute, and diplomatic officer whose masterfully organized campaign brought an end in 1794 to forty years of border fighting.

Gaff's account brings to light alliances between Indian forces and the British military, demonstrating that British troops still conducted operations on American soil long after the supposed end of the American Revolution.

1-214010 Geake, Robert FROM SLAVES TO SOLDIERS: The 1st Rhode Island Regiment in the American Revolution In December 1777, the Continental army was encamped at Valley Forge and faced weeks of cold and hunger, as well as the prospect of many troops leaving as their terms expired in the coming months. If the winter were especially cruel, large numbers of soldiers would face death or contemplate desertion. Plans were made to enlist more men, but as the states struggled to fill quotas for enlistment, Rhode Island general James Mitchell Varnum proposed the historic plan that a regiment of slaves might be recruited from his own state, the smallest in the union, but holding the largest population of slaves in New England.

The commander in chief's approval of the plan would set in motion the forming of the 1st Rhode Island Regiment. The 'black regiment,' as it came to be known, was composed of indentured servants, Narragansett Indians, and former slaves. This was not without controversy. While some in the Rhode Island Assembly and in other states railed that enlisting slaves would give the enemy the impression that not enough white men could be raised to fight the British, owners of large estates gladly offered their slaves and servants, both black and white, in lieu of a son or family member enlisting. The regiment fought with distinction at the battle of Rhode Island, and once joined with the 2nd Rhode Island before the siege of Yorktown in 1781, it became the first integrated battalion in the nation's history. 1 vol, 224 pgs 2017 US, WESTHOLME PUBLISHING

1-210600 Gilbert, Oscar & Catherine TRUE FOR THE CAUSE OF LIBERTY: The Second Spartan Regiment in the American Revolution Following their defeat at Saratoga in upstate New York in 1777, the British decided to implement a Southern Strategy to roll up the rebellious colonies from Georgia through the Carolinas to Virginia. Instead, they triggered a savage partisan war of raids, ambushes, assassinations, and large pitched battles that rivaled any fought in the northern colonies.

Untrained Patriot militiamen - occasionally stiffened by contingents of the Continental Line - were pitted against Britain's Cherokee and Creek allies, Loyalist militia, and British regulars led by General Cornwallis and his two ablest subordinates, Patrick Ferguson and the ruthless Banastre 'Bloody Ban' Tarleton.

In October 1780 the Loyalist militia was virtually destroyed at King's Mountain, the battle that Lord Clinton, the British commander in Chief, said was 'the first link in a chain of events that followed each other in regular succession until they at last ended in the total loss of America.' Other defeats at Blackstock's Farm and Cowpens, and a Pyhrric victory at Guilford Courthouse, gutted the British Southern Army and drove Cornwallis north to encirclement and surrender at Yorktown.

This study uses battlefield terrain analysis and the words of the officers and common soldiers, from pension records and little-known interviews, to bring to life the crucial role of one militia regiment - the Second Spartans of South Carolina -- that fought in virtually every action of the vicious back-country war that decided the fate of America. 1 vol, 288 pgs 2016 US, CASEMATE

After the war, he remained in British service, campaigned in many parts of the world and rose through the ranks. Despite a varied and distinguished career he has not received the attention he warrants, neither as a Loyalist from New York, nor as a successful British soldier.

Auchmuty served in India through the Second and Third Mysore Wars, the Rohilla War, and a serious mutiny. In 1798 Auchmuty was adjutant-general of the successful Red Sea campaign against French forces in Egypt. Returning to Britain in 1803, he commanded the defenses in Thanet, East Kent, at the height of the French invasion threat.

He was the only British commander to emerge from the River Plate campaign with credit, capturing Montevideo in 1807. In 1811 he commanded the land forces that captured Java from Franco-Dutch control and ended up as Commander-in-Chief, Ireland. 1 vol, 304 pgs 2018 UK, PEN & SWORD

What transpired in the next six months prior to the departure from the winter cantonment on June 19, 1778 was truly remarkable. George Washington solidified his hold on the army and endured political intrigue. The quartermaster department revived under new leadership from a former Rhode Island Quaker. A German baron trained the army in the rudiments of being a soldier and military maneuvers.

Valley Forge conjures up images of cold, desperation, and starvation. Yet Valley Forge also became the winter of transformation and improvement that set the Continental Army on the path to military victory and the fledgling nation on the path to independence. 1 vol, 192 pgs 2021 US, SAVAS BEATIE

April 19, 1775 The history of the Battles of Lexington and Concord (April 19, 1775) were the culmination of years of unrest between those loyal to the British monarchy and those advocating for more autonomy and dreaming of independence from Great Britain in the future. On the morning of April 19th, Gage sent out a force of British soldiers under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith to confiscate, recapture, and destroy the military supplies gathered by the colonists and believed to be stored in the town of Concord. Includes 150 images and 6 maps.

Due to the alacrity of men such as Dr. James Warren, Paul Revere, and William Dawes, utilizing a network of signals and outriders, the countryside was well-aware of the approaching British, setting the stage for the day's events.

1-216890 Greenwalt, Phillip and Robert Orrison VICTORY OR DEATH: The Battles of Trenton and Princeton, December 25, 1776 - January 3, 1777 December 1776: Just six months after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, George Washington and the new American Army sit on the verge of utter destruction by the banks of the Delaware River. The despondent and demoralized group of men had endured repeated defeats and now were on the edge of giving up hope. Washington feared 'the game is pretty near up.' Includes 200 images and 10 maps.

Rather than submit to defeat, Washington and his small band of soldiers crossed the ice-choked Delaware River and attacked the Hessian garrison at Trenton, New Jersey on the day after Christmas. He followed up the surprise attack with successful actions along the Assunpink Creek and at Princeton. In a stunning military campaign, Washington had turned the tables, and breathed life into the dying cause for liberty during the Revolutionary War.

The campaign has led many historians to deem it as one of the most significant military campaigns in American history. One British historian even declared that 'it may be doubted whether so small a number of men ever employed so short a space of time with greater or more lasting results upon the history of the world.'

In Victory or Death, historian Mark Maloy not only recounts these epic events, he takes you along to the places where they occurred. He shows where Washington stood on the banks of the Delaware and contemplated defeat, the city streets that his exhausted men charged through, and the open fields where Washington himself rode into the thick of battle. Victory or Death is a must for anyone interested in learning how George Washington and his brave soldiers grasped victory from the jaws of defeat. 1 vol, 192 pgs 2018 US, SAVAS BEATIE

Drawing on thousands of military records and other primary sources in British, American, and Canadian archives, and the writings of dozens of officers and soldiers, Noble Volunteers shows how a peacetime army responded to the onset of war, how professional soldiers adapted quickly and effectively to become tactically dominant, and what became of the thousands of career soldiers once the war was over.

Dispels long-held myths, revealing the remarkable diversity of British soldiers who represented a variety of ages, nationalities, and socio-economic backgrounds, and how many had joined the army as a peacetime career, only to find themselves fighting a war on another continent in often brutal conditions.

Against the backdrop of the war, the focus remains on the small picture, illuminating the moments in an individual soldier's life -- those hours spent nursing a fever while standing sentry in the bitter cold, or writing a letter to a wife back home. What emerges from these vignettes is the understanding that while these were 'common' soldiers, each soldier was completely unique.

The result is the most comprehensive first-hand account by a British soldier in the American Revolution.

Of all the British soldiers who served in North America during the American Revolution, none wrote more about his experiences than Roger Lamb. He certainly had a lot to say: his service in two of the most important campaigns-the 1777 Saratoga campaign and the 1781 campaign through the Carolinas to Virginia-put him in the thick of some of the war's most famous battles. Moreover, he was twice captured and twice escaped, making his way through hostile territory to rejoin the British army. 1 vol, 248 pgs 2022 US, WESTHOLME PUBLISHING

The European forces adapted much more readily than they are given credit for to the needs of this particular conflict. The British Army adopted a doctrine of open-order light infantry tactics and raised large numbers of Loyalist troops in the theater of war. The British government obtained the assistance of regiments from several German states, established military organizations that relied heavily on specialized skirmishing troops and chasseur companies composed of picked men after the fashion of the British light infantry. The French government sent an expeditionary force from its regular army, while Spain largely employed colonial troops from its North American holdings; each of these armies faced significant logistical challenges while mounting major campaigns. Not least, of course, the American colonies rose to the monumental task of recruiting, training, and supplying an army created specifically for the conflict. 1 vol, 216 pgs 2024 UK, HELION & COMPANY

Complete with original maps, numerous illustrations, and modern photos, and told largely through the words of those who fought there.

On October 4, obscured by darkness and a heavy morning fog, Washington launched a surprise attack on the British garrison at Germantown. His early attack found initial success and drove the British legions before him. The recapture of the colonial capital seemed within Washington's grasp until poor decisions by the American high command brought about a reversal of fortune and a clear British victory. Like Brandywine, however, the bloody fight at Germantown proved that Continental soldiers could stand toe-to-toe with British Regulars.

1-225730 Hurwitz, Jerald P ALAMO OF THE REVOLUTION: Benedict Arnold and the Massacre at Fort Griswold Before the British surrendered at Yorktown, Benedict Arnold led 1,800 British troops on a punitive expedition to destroy the American privateer base in New London. The result was a bloody assault by the British on Fort Griswold and the near massacre of its defenders.

In July of 1781, an American privateer sailing out of New London, Connecticut captured the British merchantman the Hanna, loaded with a bounty of luxury goods destined for British officers based in New York City. That action induced the British supreme leader of British forces in America to grant permission to the infamous traitor Benedict Arnold to lead an 1,800-man punitive amphibious expedition to destroy the American privateer base in New London. Being a native of the region, Arnold-a former American general-had intimate knowledge of the port and its defenses, including the most powerful fortification defending the harbor from Groton Heights Fort Griswold. So important was the fort that Arnold dedicated half of his expeditionary force to landing on the east side of the Thames River, for the sole purpose of capturing the fort and putting its heavy cannon out of commission.

But Arnold miscalculated the strength of the fort and its defenders. That misperception would have grievous consequences for the British attackers and their outnumbered American defenders. The defenders numbered around 161, made up of some 40 members of the regular garrison and some volunteers from the privateers' crews, including a member of the Pequot tribe. The bulk of the defenders were citizen volunteers from Groton and nearby towns. Virtually all males of local families, aged anywhere from 12 to 70, defended the fort. In the end, the attackers suffered close to 200 casualties. The patriots faced catastrophic losses amounting more than 80% with half the defenders slain outright 1 vol, 176 pgs 2020 US, KNOX PRESS

1-ATO051 Jones, David AGAINST THE ODDS #51: Almost a Miracle Uses ATO's Tarleton's Quarter! (ATO # 28) as a game engine starting point to bring the Northern 'half' of the American Revolution into play. The map and victory conditions show players why battles took place in key areas and also lets players explore those seemingly odd tertiary campaigns, like Halifax, Fort Pitt, and Quebec. The British consistently failed to live off the land and had to buy or ship food to sustain their armies, while the Continentals struggled with their currency's constantly depreciating purchasing power, and securing transportation.

The game handles battles in both large and small scale, as both were critical to the War's outcome, with a system that models 18th Century combat and how it differed from later times, where morale, readiness, leadership, and mere chance all could be the critical factor at one time or another, and disease and desertion could be an army's biggest killer. Special rules cover the short enlistments of the Continentals, the uncertainty of French support and entry, prisoner exchanges, and the variable support of Loyalists and Native Americans.

The map mates up with Tarleton's Quarter! but rules to create one large AWI campaign linking both games are being worked on, but not yet available. 1 vol, 60 pgs 2020 US, AGAINST THE ODDS

This story combines social history with the better known military and political history of the Revolution. It does not just deal with amorphous groups and institutions, but rather with individuals working with and affected by various groups on both sides of the conflict.

1-238170 Kling, Stephen Road to Independence The 'Road to Independence' is the first in the series of important conflicts in American history. It is set in a casual yet historically-based manner. In this games, two players take the sides of the British and the American forces, vying for control over the Thirteen Colonies.

The game not only includes the Eastern seaboard, but also the conflict in the Wilderness territory. This 'theater' is rarely covered in games on this conflict. Both players will fight for control of important locations using specially made dice that represent the various enemies and allies. These combatants include British men, American soldiers, Native American allies, militia units, and the French and Spanish allies.

Each player also has their own deck of Event Cards that will allow special events and actions to occur. This level of unpredictability ensures that no two games will play the same way.

Will the Americans prevail and win their independence from the British Empire? Or will His Majesty's forces bring the wayward colonies back under the Crown's control? Find out in the 'Road to Independence.'

1-226590 Knight, John WAR AT SABRE POINT: Banastre Tarleton and the British Legion The British Legion frequently overwhelmed the Continental forces they fought, becoming the most feared British regiment of the war. Banastre Tarleton and the Americans he led have always been characterized as brutal, immoral villains -- most recently in the movie, The Patriot. But this study subverts our pre-conceived notions. The men who filled the Legions ranks were not weak-willed collaborators or treacherous renegades, but free men as motivated by conscience as the Patriots they battled. Few were wealthy. None had a vested stake in the British Government. Each believed that in defending the Crown; they were upholding the rule of law and preserving individual liberty. These men followed Banastre Tarleton clear across America for years, sacrificing not only their families, homes, and lives. Self-interest could not have persuaded them to do this. Patriotism and fidelity did. Uses first-hand accounts such as letters, diaries, and journals to tell the Legion's story and the man who led it. 1 vol, 320 pgs 2020 US, WESTHOLME PUBLISHING

1-230010 Knight, Paul A VERY FINE REGIMENT: The 47th Foot During the American War of Independence, 1773-1783 The 47th Regiment of Foot served throughout the whole of the American War of Independence. The regiment experienced the transition from peacetime soldiering in Ireland and New Jersey, through the deteriorating political situation, to open rebellion. Examines the regiment within the context of a British Army which was neither stuck in the past nor incapable of reform. New uniforms, weapons, and drill manuals reflected the lessons of the previous war within an environment of doctrinally innovative generals. Against this, the regiment had to train in an era of the financial parsimony and where the friction of peacetime soldiering mitigated against training objectives. Nevertheless, the 47th was called 'A Very Fine Regiment and Fit for Service' before it sailed for New Jersey in 1773. Includes eight pages of color plates, 20 b/w illustrations, five maps, and 10 tables.

Who were the 47th Foot? How well did they overcome the challenges they faced? What became of them? Where they unthinking automatons lead by an officer class incapable of adapting to the reality of warfare in North America?

In North America, the 47th served in peaceful New Jersey and New York before joining the Boston Garrison in response to the deteriorating political situation there. After Boston, they were sent to Quebec where they drove American Rebels out of Canada before participating in the ill-fated Saratoga Campaign. Most of the regiment then endured years of captivity as part of the Convention Army. A fortunate part of the regiment avoided this fate and defended Canada's borders for the remained of the war.

This period saw the 47th, and the British Army in North America, quickly adapting to the rapidly evolving political and military situations they encountered. They successfully evolved their tactics and doctrine from peaceful garrison duties to conventional warfare in response to open rebellion and then to irregular tactics for woodland fighting. 1 vol, 238 pgs 2022 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-202380 Krebbs, Daniel A GENEROUS AND MERCIFUL ENEMY: Life for German Prisoners of War During the American Revolution Explores German POW experiences during the American War of Independence.

Some 37,000 soldiers from six German principalities, collectively remembered as Hessians, entered service as British auxiliaries in the American War of Independence. At times, they constituted a third of the British army in North America, and thousands of them were imprisoned by the Americans. Despite the importance of Germans in the British war effort, historians have largely overlooked these men. Draws on research in German military records and common soldiers' letters and diaries.

Setting his account in the context of British and European politics and warfare, Krebs explains the motivations of the German states that provided contract soldiers for the British army. We think of the Hessians as mercenaries, but, as he shows, many were conscripts. Some were new recruits; others, veterans. Some wanted to stay in the New World after the war. Krebs further describes how the Germans were made prisoners, either through capture or surrender, and brings to life their experiences in captivity from New England to Havana, Cuba.

Krebs discusses prison conditions in detail, addressing both the American approach to war prisoners and the prisoners' responses to their experience. He assesses American efforts as a 'generous and merciful enemy' to use the prisoners as economic, military, and propagandistic assets. In the process, he never loses sight of the impact of imprisonment on the POWs themselves.

Adding new dimensions to an important but often neglected topic in military history, Krebs probes the origins of the modern treatment of POWs. An epilogue describes an almost-forgotten 1785 treaty between the United States and Prussia, the first in western legal history to regulate the treatment of prisoners of war. 1 vol, 344 pgs 2013 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

1-209230 Langer, Christine BAYLOR'S REGIMENT: The Third Continental Light Dragoons Colonel George Baylor was given command of the Third Regiment of Continental Light Dragoons, which would always be known as Baylor's Regiment. The men covered in this book were almost entirely recruited from Virginia, with some men from North Carolina, but who, after the war, settled and raised families not only in Virginia, but in surrounding states, including Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

Colonel Baylor, who inspired life-long loyalty in his men, was wounded during 'Baylor's Massacre' in September 1778 and was never able to return to active command. The officers of the Third Regiment have been well documented, based on regimental returns, but the one surviving muster roll of the troops gives us only a snapshot of the men. In order to identify them, it has been necessary to search letters written to and from the regimental officers, quartermaster records, and post-war sources, such as state and federal pension records, rejected pension applications, and bounty land warrants.

Due to this scarcity of documentation, it is not possible to compile a complete listing of the men of the Third Continental Light Dragoons; however, the men and their accounts summarized herein give us insight into their service and the hardships suffered during the war, the battles they fought in, their families, the friendships they made, and quite often, the poverty resulting from their inability to work due to their war wounds.

1-230650 Lender, Mark FORT TICONDEROGA: The Last Campaigns: The War in the North, 1777-1783 During the American Revolution, Fort Ticonderoga dominated north-south communications in upstate New York and was considered the Key to the Continent. American efforts to defend the fort in June against British Lieutenant General John Burgoyne's 1777 campaign entailed political and military intrigue, bungling, heroism, and ultimately a narrow escape for the Continental and provincial forces under Major General Arthur St. Clair.

The loss of Ticonderoga stunned patriot morale and ignited one of the greatest political firestorms of the war. But the fortunes of war turned. Two months later, the rebels mounted a sensational-if little known-counter-attack on Ticonderoga that had major implications for Burgoyne's eventual defeat at Saratoga in October. Yet Saratoga brought no peace, and Ticonderoga would be central to additional military and political maneuverings-many of them known only to specialist historians-that would keep the region on edge until the end of the war in 1783. 1 vol, 256 pgs 2022 US, WESTHOLME PUBLISHING

It also marked a decisive turning point in the military career of George Washington. Without the victory at Monmouth Courthouse, Washington's critics might well have marshaled the political strength to replace him as the American commander-in-chief. Replete with poignant anecdotes, folkloric incidents, and stories of heroism and combat brutality; filled with behind-the-scenes action and intrigue; and teeming with characters from all walks of life. Includes 15 b/w illustrations and 18 maps.

Includes both American and British perspectives of the battle. Criticism of Washington's performance in command was considerably broader and deeper than previously acknowledged. In light of long-standing practical and ideological questions about his vision for the Continental Army and his ability to win the war, the outcome at Monmouth -- a hard-fought tactical draw -- was politically insufficient for Washington. The general's partisans, determined that the battle for public opinion would be won in his favor, engineered a propaganda victory for their chief that involved the spectacular court martial of Major General Charles Lee, the second-ranking officer of the Continental Army. 1 vol, 624 pgs 2017 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

1-205730 Lewis, Charles CUT OFF: Colonel Jedediah Huntington's 17th Continental (Connecticut) Regiment at the Battle of Long Island, August 27,1776 The American Revolutionary War was just a little over one year old, when, shortly after midnight on the 27th of August 1776, the British Army began an attack in force on a small number of picket guards stationed in advance of the right wing of the American Army just south of Brooklyn, New York. Thus began what is generally known as the Battle of Long Island, arguably the largest battle of an extended and sanguinary conflict that was to last six more years.

Retreating precipitously, the terrified pickets sent word of the attack to George Washington's main army encamped behind fortified positions about three miles to the north. From there, American General William Alexander (Lord Stirling) was immediately dispatched with the regiments available to him south along the Gowanus Road to meet the British threat.

One of those American regiments was Colonel Jedediah Huntington's 17th Continental Regiment, made up of men primarily from eastern Connecticut. Arriving at the scene of action, Lord Stirling sent Colonel Huntington's Regiment, with parts of two other regiments, into the wooded hills inland from the Bay to protect his exposed left flank.

In doing so, the general unwittingly sent Huntington's Regiment into oblivion. What happened to the Connecticut men of Huntington's 17th Continental Regiment after they marched off into what was the most isolated and remote part of the battlefield would remain a mystery for the next two and a half centuries.

For the first time, herein, the author has been able to piece together the fate of Huntington's Regiment from diaries, Revolutionary War pension records, Connecticut State records, family histories, and town records and histories. While this book tells the story of the regiment as a whole, genealogists will find it of value as it also provides brief biographies of many of the individual soldiers who served in the regiment during 1776. Names and places have been thoroughly indexed.

The book is 302 pages in all, with maps, illustrations and photographs of important locations included. There are extensive footnotes, a thorough bibliography, and an appendix which contains important historical documents related to Huntington's Regiment. 1 vol, 320 pgs 2009 US, HERITAGE BOOKS

Troops from all over New England poured into Rhode Island to oppose the invasion. One group coalesced into a brigade, commonly known as the Rhode Island Brigade, and provided extraordinary service during the War of Independence.

Besides a history of the Brigade as a whole, this book discusses the lives of the men and their experiences and the impact that the war had on their families and communities. The numerous biographical sketches of the Brigade's soldiers and officers provide information later in life that add considerably to the story of the Brigade.

1-204380 Lobdell, Jared INDIAN WARFARE: In Western PA and North WV at the Time of the American Revolution Indian Warfare in Western Pennsylvania and North West Virginia at the Time of the American Revolution, Including the Narrative of Indian and Tory Depredations by John Crawford, the Military Reminiscences of Captain Henry Jolly, and the Narrative of Lydia Boggs Shepherd Cruger. Indian Warfare is one of the volumes in Mr. Lobdell's series covering the Heroic Age (1770 to 1794) on the early frontier.

The three narratives often read like adventure stories. The Indians and the British engaged in guerrilla warfare against the settlers: raiding cabins, slaughtering livestock, killing children and the elderly and taking captive those in their teens or early twenties, who were usually taken to Quebec. Some were adopted into the tribes, like Arthur Crawford, who hunted for almost seven years for his adopted father White Eyes before returning home; or Miss Hawkins, who married an Indian and/or Frenchman. John Crawford (1772-1831) based his narrative mainly on the stories he had heard from his relatives, especially his father, William Crawford, who took a very active part in the Revolution in his area.

Henry Jolly (1757-1842) was one of the few Revolutionary War soldiers on the frontier who left a written account. Lydia Cruger was sixteen and inside Fort Henry during its third and final siege in 1782. Her account of the taunting and insulting remarks passed back and forth between the defenders and attackers reminds one irresistibly of the soldiers before and on the wall of Troy. 1 vol, 162 pgs 2006 US, HERITAGE BOOKS

1-192002 Logusz, Michael O WITH MUSKET AND TOMAHAWK: The Mohawk Valley Campaign and the Wilderness War of 1777 This is the second volume of Michael Logusz's epic work on the Wilderness War of 1777, in which the British Army with its German, Loyalist, and Indian auxiliaries attempted to descend from Canada to sever the nascent American colonies, only to be met by Patriot formations contesting the invasion of their newly declared nation.

In his first volume, on the Saratoga campaign, the author described how Burgoyne's main thrust was first stalled and then obliterated during its advance down the Hudson River. Burgoyne had hoped to be met by a corresponding British thrust from New York City, but this never materialized, Lord Howe opting to attack Philadelphia instead. But the British had indeed launched a third thrust from the west, embarking from Lake Ontario at Oswego and thence forging its way down the Mohawk Valley.

This third British thrust, under General Barry St. Leger, was perhaps the most terrifying of all, as it overran a sparsely populated wilderness where every man and boy had long needed to bear arms to protect against the ravages of the Iroquois Federation. Yet now the British-imitating the French before them-had made common cause with those same Indians, who now roamed across the frontier as the warpainted spearhead of the Empire's new attack.

At Fort Stanwix in upstate New York, a Patriot (former British) fort held fast, though surrounded by St. Leger's forces and his Mohawk and Loyalist auxiliaries. A relief column some 800 strong under Nicholas Herkimer attempted to relieve the fort, but it was ambushed en route with most of its men-including the entire male population of several nearby communities-killed or wounded. At this Battle of Oriskany, the basis for the movie 'Drums Along the Mohawk,' Herkimer himself was mortally wounded. Fortunately a sally from Fort Stanwix raided the Indian camp during the battle, compelling many of the warriors to desist from annihilating the entire column.

In the end, Fort Stanwix was relieved only when Benedict Arnold-soon to excel at Saratoga, just as he had done at Valcour Island and elsewhere throughout the Revolution-marched his troops through and forced the British to give up their western onslaught.

In this book, as in his highly acclaimed first volume, the author captures the terrain, tactics and terror of this brutal, multifaceted wilderness war as few writers have done before. It was neighbor against neighbor, native Americans on both sides, and European professionals against Colonial Patriots, in a desperate campaign that helped determine America's fate. 1 vol, 308 pgs 2012 US, CASEMATE PUBLISHING

This fascinating work (cited in the Harvard Guide to American History) is a must for every student of the Revolution or German-American history, for its depiction of the American Revolution from the German point of view. In addition to solid historical background information, it describes the hardships and experiences of the Hessian soldiers in America from a very personal level, quoting from original German accounts of almost every major and minor engagement of the Revolutionary War, from the year 1776 to the end. Beginning with the Battle of Long Island, this book also provides accounts of Hessian involvement in the occupation of New York and the taking of Fort Washington; Trenton; the winter of 1777; the Brunswickers in Canada; Baroness Riedesel's Journey, 1776 and 1777; Ticonderoga and Bennington; Saratoga; the Brunswickers in captivity; Brandywine, Germantown and Redbank; the Southern Campaign and many others. 1 vol, 354 pgs 1997 NY, CORNER HOUSE PUBLIS'G

1-236980 MacNiven, Robbie THE PATTERN: The 33rd Regiment in the American Revolution 1770-1783 Regimental history of the 33rd Foot during the Revolutionary War. In the early 1770s, the 33rd Foot acquired a reputation as the best-trained regiment in the British Army. This reputation would be tested beyond breaking point over the course of the American Revolutionary War. From Saratoga to South Carolina, the 33rd was one of the most heavily-engaged units - on either side - throughout the war. Includes 4 b/w illustrations, 22 b/w photos, 2 color illustrations, 18 color photos, 8pp color plates, 15 maps, 2 tables, and 4 graphs.

The 33rd's rise to prominence stemmed from its colonel, Charles, Earl Cornwallis, who took over in 1766. In a period where senior officers wielded huge influence over their own regiments, Cornwallis proved to be the best kind of commander. Diligent and meticulous, he focussed on improving the 33rd in every regard, from drills and field exercises to the quality of the unit's weapons and clothing.

The 33rd subsequently became known as the 'pattern' for the army, the unit on which other successful regiments were based. Prior to the outbreak of fighting in the American colonies in 1775, the 33rd's abilities, particularly in new light infantry drills, were frequently praised. At one point they even assisted in training the elite regiments of the Foot Guards. 1 vol, 274 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

Yet following a succession of defeats against the British, the rebels slowly rebounded in strength under the legendary leadership of George Washington. The fortunes of war ebbed and flowed, from the humid southern states of America to the frozen landscapes of wintry Canada, but eventually led to the catastrophic British defeat at Yorktown in 1781 and the establishment of an independent United States of America.

This covers the war from the opening skirmishes, through the major pitched battles, and up to the Treaty of Paris in 1783. Illustrated with photographs and artwork. 1 vol, 260 pgs 2017 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING

1-227550 Mayer, Holly CONGRESS'S OWN: A Canadian Regiment, the Continental Army, and American Union Colonel Moses Hazen's 2nd Canadian Regiment was one of the first national regiments in the American army. Created by the Continental Congress, it drew members from Canada, 11 states, and foreign forces. Congress's Own was among the most culturally, ethnically, and regionally diverse of the Continental Army's regiments -- a distinction that reflects the process of union. Tracks key battles and traces debates that raged within the Revolution's military and political borderlands. Disclose how the regiment embodied the dreams, diversity, and divisions within and between the Continental Army, Congress, and the emergent union of states. Includes seven maps.

The 2nd Canadian, like the larger army, represented and pushed the transition from a colonial, continental alliance to a national association. The problems the regiment raised and encountered underscored the complications of managing a confederation of states and troops.

In this enterprising study of an intriguing and at times infernal regiment, Holly A. Mayer marshals personal and official accounts-from the letters and journals of Continentals and congressmen to the pension applications of veterans and their widows-to reveal what the personal passions, hardships, and accommodations of the 2nd Canadian can tell us about the greater military and civil dynamics of the American Revolution. Congress's Own follows congressmen, commanders, and soldiers through the Revolutionary War as the regiment's story shifts from tents and trenches to the halls of power and back. 1 vol, 408 pgs 2021 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

1-222670 McBurney, Christian GEORGE WASHINGTON'S NEMESIS: The Outrageous Treason and Unfair Court Martial of Major General Charles Lee during the American Revolution Revolutionary War historians and biographers of Charles Lee have treated him as either an inveterate enemy of George Washington or a great defender of American liberty. Neither approach is accurate argues author Christian McBurney, who stresses that in order to fully understand the war's most complicated general, objectivity is required.

General Lee, second in command in the Continental Army led by George Washington, was captured by the British in December 1776. While a prisoner, he prepared and submitted to his captors a military plan on how to defeat Washington's army as quickly as possible. This extraordinary act of treason, arguably on a par with Benedict Arnold's heinous treachery, was not discovered during his lifetime. Many historians shrug off this ignoble act, but it should not be ignored. Less well known is that throughout his 16 months of captivity and even after his release, Lee continued communicating with the enemy, offering to help negotiate an end to the rebellion.

After Lee rejoined the Continental Army, he was given command of many of its best troops with orders from Washington to attack the rear of British General Henry Clinton's column near Monmouth, New Jersey. Lee intended to attack on June 28, 1778, but retreated in the face of Clinton's bold move to reverse his march. Two of Lee's subordinate generals-without orders and without informing Lee-moved more than half of his command off the field. Faced with the possible destruction of the balance, Lee ordered a general retreat while conducting a skillful delaying action.

Many historians have been quick to malign Lee's performance at Monmouth, for which he was convicted by court-martial for not attacking and for retreating in the face of the enemy. This was a miscarriage of justice, stresses McBurney, for the evidence clearly shows that Lee was unfairly convicted and had, in fact, by retreating, performed an important service to the Patriot cause. The guilty verdict was more the result of Lee's having insulted Washington, which made the matter a political contest between the army's two top generals-only one of them could prevail. 1 vol, 288 pgs 2020 US, SAVAS BEATIE

2-198290 McBurnley, Christian THE RHODE ISLAND CAMPAIGN: The First French and American Operation in the Revolutionary War On July 29, 1778, a powerful French naval squadron sailed confidently to the entrance of Narragansett Bay. Its appearance commenced the first joint French and American campaign of the Revolutionary War. The new allies' goal was to capture the British garrison at Newport, Rhode Island. With British resolve reeling from the striking patriot victory at Saratoga the previous autumn, this French and American effort might just end the war.

As the French moved into the bay, surprised British captains scuttled or burned many of their vessels rather than risk capture, resulting in the most significant loss of warships suffered by the British navy during the war. French Admiral Comte d'Estaing then turned to sea to engage the main British fleet but his ships were scattered and damaged by a huge storm. After his flagship and two other ships were attacked, d'Estaing's squadron was taken out of the campaign.

The American army under General John Sullivan, meanwhile, was stranded on a small island near Newport without the expected French naval support. When they tried to retreat off the island, British and Hessian regulars were sent to destroy Sullivan's army; instead of a rout, a running battle ensued that lasted for more than six hours. Continentals, brimming with confidence after their training during the winter of Valley Forge, once more proved that they were an effective fighting force. While the Rhode Island Campaign ended in failure for the Americans and French, there were positive signs for the future of the alliance and the Revolution.

This book unravels one of the most complex and multi-faceted events of the war, one which combined land and sea strategies and featured controversial decisions on both sides. Many prominent patriots participated, including Nathanael Greene, Marquis de Lafayette, John Hancock, and Paul Revere. Most important, while the campaign's failure led to harsh criticism of the French in some quarters, leaders such as Greene, Lafayette, and George Washington steadfastly worked to ensure that the alliance would remain intact, knowing that the next joint operation could well succeed. It relies on in-depth research from American, French, British, and German original sources. 1 vol, 400 pgs 2012 US, WESTHOLME PUBLISHING

1-196220 Mowday, Bruce SEPTEMBER 11, 1777: Washington's Defeat at Brandywine Dooms Philadelphia During the early morning hours of September 11, 1777, British General William Howe split his army in a daring maneuver. American General George Washington's troops united behind the Brandywine River preparing for the army of King George III. In a dense fog, Howe and General Charles Cornwallis led a portion of the British army on a 17-mile march, crossing the Brandywine at two fords, and surprising the American army near the Birmingham Meeting House. The second portion of the British army under Hessian General Wilhelm Knyphausen pushed the American new light infantry under General William Maxwell back to the Brandywine and then held Washington's forces in check until Howe completed his flanking march. An American patriot, Squire Thomas Cheyney, heroically alerted Washington to the danger of Howe's flanking movement.

The Battle of Brandywine was the largest land battle of the American Revolution and the major conflict of the Philadelphia campaign that ended with Washington's army spending a hard winter at Valley Forge. Brandywine was also the first battle for a young French volunteer, the Marquis de Lafayette. Lafayette suffered a leg wound during the conflict. British Captain Patrick Ferguson's new invention, a breech-loading rifle, was also used for the first time at Brandywine. Ferguson had a chance to alter history that day as he had Washington in the sights of his weapon but declined to fire upon the brave Washington.

Howe's victory allowed him to capture Philadelphia, but he failed to destroy Washington's army and failed to rally the residents, including a large Quaker community, to the British cause. 1 vol, 0 pgs 2002 US, WHITE MANE PUBLISHING

One author calls Howard one of the finest regimental commanders in American history. Contemporaries, including George Washington and Nathaniel Greene, knew well the impressive fighting qualities of this young officer. Greene once sent Howard to Baltimore carrying a letter that began with the words: 'This will be handed to you by Colonel Howard, as good an officer as the world affords.'

Howard participated in the New York campaign of 1776 and the Philadelphia campaign of 1777, led his Maryland troops as they fought heroically at the Battle of Camden, SC in 1780, and was awarded a Silver Medal by Congress for his superb performance at the 1781 Battle of Cowpens. He also served with distinction during the Race to the Dan and the Battles at Guilford Courthouse, Hobkirk's Hill, and Eutaw Springs.

After the war, Howard held several important offices including Governor of Maryland and US Senator. This is the first military biography of this distinguished soldier.

1-202430 Piecuch, Jim and Beakes, John LIGHT HORSE HARRY LEE 'Light Horse Harry' Lee of Virginia was one of George Washington's handpicked young officers and advisers in the field. Later, he became a lifelong friend. With his superb leadership instincts, George Washington used the best capabilities of men as different as Lee and John Eager Howard. His troop commanders were highly effective throughout the Revolutionary War in extracting victory from the jaws of defeat.

Lee's career as a Revolutionary War Cavalryman is a story of daring raids, brilliant exploits, and constant danger. Congress awarded Lee a Gold Medal in 1779, the only such award given to an officer below the rank of General during the war.

His Legion of Cavalry formed the vanguard of the impenetrable screen, which enabled the Southern Army to elude the British in the Race to the Dan in 1781; he was constantly in the saddle during the Southern Campaigns of 1780-81. Lee's bold strokes were reflected in the unrivaled, aggressive maneuvers that his son, Robert E. Lee, would execute during the Civil War. His flamboyant style in combat was quite different from the first subject of this series-the stoic, taciturn infantry commander, John Eager Howard.

1-206130 Polhenus, Richard V. & John F. The Life and Wars of John Stark The Battle of Saratoga and the surrender of Burgoyne on 17 October 1777 was the turning
point of the American Revolution, but the Battle of Benningtonon 16 August set the stage.

At Bennington John Stark commanded a force of militia and Green Mountain Boys,
everyday men from Vermont and New Hampshire facing professional European soldiers.
In a daring and complicated attack, Stark routed an entrenched enemy and almost entirely
destroyed it. It was the beginning of the end of the British invasion from Canada-until
then a juggernaut that could not be stopped.

Burgoyne's nemesis was no gentleman. Stark was the quintessential
citizen soldier-proud, resourceful, independent. He was unschooled and rough around
the edges, a New Hampshire frontiersman. Captured by Indians in 1752, he earned their
respect by fighting his way out of their gauntlet. Congress and commanding officers didn't
always like him, but they relied on him.

French and Indian War Ranger
Stark enlisted for the French and Indian War along with a friend, Robert Rogers. When
Rogers was ordered to form a corps of rangers, one of the first he chose was John Stark,
who rose to captain of rangers and fought in many of the legendary battles along Lake
Georgeand Lake Champlain,including the Battle of Ticonderogaand the First Battle
on Snowshoes.

Revolutionary War General
Stark's ranger experience taught him tactics he would use effectively in the Revolution
as he rose through the ranks to brigadier general, fighting at Bunker Hill, Trenton,
Princeton, Springfield, Bennington, and Saratoga (Stark's Knob). He crossed the
Delaware with Washington, covered the retreat of the army from Canada, defended Fort
Ticonderoga, and sat on the Board of General Officers that convicted Major John Andre,
Benedict Arnold's British contact.

At war's end, John Stark quietly returned to his farm and lumber mill. He departed
the spotlight and remains largely unheralded to this day except in New Hampshire, where
he is best known for some words he penned in a letter to the Bennington Committee on
31 July 1809 in response to an invitation to celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of
Bennington. He regretted that he could not attend, but he offered them this toast:

It covers the Northwest Indian War which followed the American Revolution. Settlers flooded across the Ohio River testing the patience of Native nations. A coalition under the skilled leadership of the Miami chieftain, Little Turtle, defiantly stood against them. Raiding on both sides caused casualties to mount. President Washington ordered three army expeditions against them. Two ended in defeat; one marked the greatest native defeat of US forces in the history of the US army. The war ended with Little Turtle's defeat at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.

During this pivotal moment in America's war for independence against Great Britain, a newborn nation struggled to survive against a militarily superior force deployed by a mighty empire.

This is also a chronicle of the inspirational leadership and service of the Delaware Regiment that Haslet formed and guided, told as part of a more wide-ranging narrative about the 1776 campaign of Washington's army. That battered but resilient force faced the prospect of total defeat in the winter of 1776-1777 as the quest for American independence hung in the balance. 1 vol, 302 pgs 2020 US, THE KNOX PRESS

1-235380 Price, David THE BATTLE OF HARLEM HEIGHTS: 1776 The Battle of Harlem Heights is an under-appreciated milestone in American military history. The engagement on upper Manhattan Island on September 16, 1776, was the first successful battle for George Washington's troops in the American Revolution and presaged the emergence of an effective fighting force among the citizen-soldiers who made up the Continental Army.

Examines the significance of the Continental Army's first victory and highlights the role of one of its key participants, the largely forgotten Knowlton who gave his life during the action while urging his rangers forward. The cooperative effort of regiments from New England, Maryland, and Virginia-whose men lacked any sense of national identity before the Revolution-indicated the potential for this fledgling army to cohere around a common national purpose and affiliation and become the primary instrument for securing America's right to self-rule.

The action began when a contingent of rangers led by Col. Thomas Knowlton of Connecticut encountered British light infantry while conducting a reconnaissance mission on Washington's orders. What began as a skirmish transformed into a full-fledged battle as both sides reinforced, and a heavy engagement continued for several hours until, with ammunition running low, the British withdrew. Washington decided not to pursue and risk confrontation with a larger force, thereby keeping his army intact. 1 vol, 200 pgs 2022 US, WESTHOLME PUBLISHING

It was the final act of Bernardo de Galvez's remarkable Gulf Coast Campaign and stands out as a classic tale of warfare and sacrifice. By 1781 Pensacola was the last British-held post in West Florida. The British garrison in Pensacola was strong, and its commander, Major General John Campbell, was determined to defend his fort. It was grim work, and British and Spanish troops endured hardship and fatigue as the siege progressed. 1 vol, 218 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

Includes 8 pages of color plates, 14 b/w illustrations, 5 tables, and one map.

Discusses the inclusion and treatment of black Americans by the various Crown forces (particularly British and Loyalist commanders, and military units), then moves into an overview of black soldiers in the Continental Army, before examining their service state by state.

Each state chapter looks first at the Continental regiments in that state's contingent throughout the war, and then adds interesting black soldiers' pension narratives or portions thereof. The premise is to introduce the reader to the men's wartime duties and experiences. Concludes with examination of veterans' postwar fortunes in a changing society and the effect of increasing racial bias in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. 1 vol, 210 pgs 2019 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

THE LIFE OF JOHN ANDRE: The Redcoat Who Turned Benedict Arnold John Andre was head of the British Army's Secret Service in North America as the Revolutionary War entered its most bitter and, ultimately, decisive phase. In 1780, he masterminded the defection of a high-ranking American officer-General Benedict Arnold.

Arnold-his name for ever synonymous with treason in American folklore-had recently been appointed commander of West Point and agreed, through Andre, to turn over to the British this strategically vital fort on the upper reaches of the Hudson River. Control of the fort would interrupt lines of communication between New England and the southern colonies, seriously impeding military operations against the British. The plan was also to simultaneously kidnap General George Washington, Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army. By these two masterstrokes, the British believed they could end rebel resistance.

1-199110 Schelhammer, Michael GEORGE WASHINGTON and the Final British Campaign for the Hudson River, 1779 In the summer of 1779, British General Sir Henry Clinton launched one last attempt to gain control of the Hudson River, the most strategically important waterway during the American Revolution. The campaign involved all of George Washington's main Continental Army and most of the forces around New York City under Clinton's command, but ended without a major battle.

Still, the summer saw plenty of action. American cavalry sparred with their British counterparts in eastern New York; thousands of militiamen resisted brutal British raids along the Connecticut coast; and Washington stunned the British with daring night bayonet attacks on the fortified posts of Stony Point and Paulus Hook. This study details the strategy, tactics, officers, soldiers, and spies that shaped this critical campaign, which helped set the stage for America's final victory in the Revolution.

1-204300 Schroder, Walter THE HESSIAN OCCUPATION of Newport and Rhode Island, 1776-1779 Who were the Hessians? Where did they come from? Were all Hessians truly Hessians? Were they mercenaries or auxiliary troops of the British? This well-researched historical narrative answers these questions and more as it vividly portrays the events of the Rhode Island campaign, which lasted from December 8, 1776 to October 25, 1779.

Information gleaned from source diaries and unit journals, originally recorded in German, provide a wealth of insight into the daily life of the German soldiers who were committed to the Rhode Island campaign. In light of modern travel and technology, it is difficult to imagine the perilous two-month journey across the Atlantic to America that was just the beginning of the hardships, dangers, and fears to be experienced by these eighteenth-century German soldiers.

The 1776 occupation of Newport, troop movements, raids and incursions, the Treaty of Paris, the 1778 siege of Newport, the Battle of Rhode Island, and much more are examined in detail. A bibliography and an index add to the value of this work. 1 vol, 222 pgs 2012 US, HERITAGE BOOKS

1-214980 Smith, David WHISPERS ACROSS THE ATLANTICK: General William Howe and the American Revolution General William Howe was the commander-in-chief of the British forces during the early campaigns of the American Revolution. He was an enigma, who appeared on multiple occasions to be on the verge of winning the war for Britain, only to repeatedly fail to deliver the final blow.

Howe evoked passionate reactions in the people he worked with; his men loved him, his second-in-command detested him, his enemies feared him, and his political masters despaired of him. There was even a plot to murder him, in which British officers as well as Americans were implicated.

This book will be the first major work on this inscrutable British general in more than 40 years. Previously largely ignored by historians due to a lack of primary source documents, the author's recent archival discoveries and ground-breaking research means that there are fascinating new insights to be told about Howe's performance during the American Revolution.

Howe's story includes intrigue, romance, and betrayal, played out on the battlefields of North America and concluding in a courtroom at the House of Commons, where Howe defended his decisions with his reputation and possibly his life. The inquiry, complete with witness testimonies and savage debate between the bitterly divided factions of the British Parliament, forms the framework for the book, giving it the flavor of a courtroom drama rather than a standard military narrative history. As Howe struggles to clear his name, the titanic forces at work during the birth of the United States of America rage around him. 1 vol, 304 pgs 2017 UK, OSPREY PUBLISHING

1-234880 Stone, Garry and Schopp. Paul THE BATTLE OF GLOUCESTER: 1777 Recreates this minor but important clash during the Philadelphia campaign. Relying on both primary source documents and the latest archaeological interpretations, the authors have determined the course of this fascinating battle as Benjamin Franklin later proclaimed it to be. As a result of this action, when Washington requested that Lafayette be given a division, Congress agreed. On December 4, 1777, the marquis, promoted to major-general, took command of the brigades of Generals Woodford and Scott to begin what would be a glorious career in American service.

The 19-year-old Marquis de Lafayette arrived in Philadelphia at the end of July 1777. He was a rich aristocrat, but he was unpretentious, charming, and eager to learn. Introduced to George Washington, he joined the commander-in-chief at the Battle of Brandywine in September, where he proved that he was courageous. Soon after, the British occupied Philadelphia and prepared to control the Delaware River, vital as a supply route.

In November, the marquis volunteered to go to New Jersey with Major General Nathanael Greene and a detachment sent to defend Fort Mercer, a Delaware River fort controlling shipping access to Philadelphia. Mercer was threatened by an approaching enemy column led by Lord Charles Cornwallis. The Continentals were unable to reach Fort Mercer in time to save it, but Lafayette had ridden ahead of Greene to reconnoiter.

He discovered a 350-man picket of German riflemen (jagers) guarding Cornwallis's camp, and with 10 light dragoons, 150 riflemen from Daniel Morgan's Rifle Corps, and perhaps 200 New Jersey militia, he attacked. In 45 minutes, Lafayette's little band drove the jagers back two and a half miles, almost to Cornwallis' camp. When the news of Lafayette's small victory reached the Continental Congress at York, Pennsylvania, the delegates were elated-this was the only good news amid the gloom over the loss of Philadelphia and control of the Delaware River. 1 vol, 200 pgs 2022 US, WESTHOLME PUBLISHING

Noting the complex reasons for British failure in European waters, Syrett lays primary blame at the feet of Britain's political leadership. He describes how Lord North, the first lord of the Treasury and head of government, abdicated control of Britain's military to individual members of the cabinet. Syrett suggests that constant vacillations in policy and strategy, which resulted from power shifts among the cabinet ministers, prevented North's government from formulating a comprehensive wartime strategy or providing the Royal Navy with the strategic guidance to launch a successful campaign.

1-221870 Taaffe, Stephen WASHINGTON'S REVOLUTIONARY WAR GENERALS When the Revolutionary War began, Congress established a national army and appointed George Washington its commander in chief. Congress then took it upon itself to choose numerous subordinate generals to lead the army's various departments, divisions, and brigades. How this worked out in the end is well known.

Less familiar, however, is how well Congress's choices worked out along the way. Although historians have examined many of Washington's subordinates. This details the Revolutionary War careers of the Continental Army's generals -- their experience, performance, and relationships with Washington and the Continental Congress -- as well as an overview of the politics of command, both within and outside the army, and a unique perspective on how it affected Washington's prosecution of the war.

This follows these men through the war's most important battles and campaigns as well as its biggest controversies, such as the Conway Cabal and the Newburgh Conspiracy, and depicts the complexities and particulars of character and politics of military command. 1 vol, 360 pgs 2019 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

1-225420 Tonsetic, Robert Special Operations in the American Revolution Describes and analyzes numerous examples of special operations conducted during the Revolutionary War. Despite early defeats, the Americans had a reservoir of tough, self-reliant frontier fighters, who were brave beyond compare and entirely willing to contest the King's men with unconventional tactics. Most of the operations were conducted by American irregulars and volunteers, carefully selected, with specialized skills, and led by leaders with native intelligence.

As the war continued, Washington increasingly relied on special operations forces in the northeast, in the Carolinas, and ad hoc frontiersmen to defy British sovereignty inland. When the British and their Indian allies began to wage war on American settlements west of the Appalachians, Washington had to again rely on partisan and militias to conduct long-range strikes and raids targeting enemy forts and outposts.

The fledgling Continental Navy and Marines soon adopted a similar strategy. Realizing that the small American fleet was no match for the powerful British navy in major sea battles, the new Navy and its Marines focused on disrupting British commercial shipping in the Atlantic and Caribbean, and launching raids against British on-shore installations first in the Bahamas and then on the British coastline itself.

1-214090 van Buskirk, Judith STANDING IN THEIR OWN LIGHT: African American Patriots in the American Revolution The Revolutionary War encompassed at least two struggles: one for freedom from British rule, and another, quieter but no less significant, fight for the liberty of African Americans, thousands of whom fought in the Continental Army. Because these veterans left few letters or diaries, their story has remained largely untold, and the significance of their service largely unappreciated.

Revolutionary-era African Americans began their lives in a world that hardly questioned slavery; they finished their days in a world that increasingly contested the existence of the institution. Judith L. Van Buskirk traces this shift to the wartime experiences of African Americans. Mining first-hand sources that include black veterans' pension files, Van Buskirk examines how the struggle for independence moved from the battlefield to the courthouse-and how personal conflicts contributed to the larger struggle against slavery and legal inequality. Black veterans claimed an American identity based on their willing sacrifice on behalf of American independence. Abolitionists, citing the contributions of black soldiers, adopted the tactics and rhetoric of revolution, personal autonomy, and freedom.

Van Buskirk deftly places her findings in the changing context of the time. She notes the varied conditions of slavery before the war, the different degrees of racial integration across the Continental Army, and the war's divergent effects on both northern and southern states. Her efforts retrieve black patriots' experiences from historical obscurity and reveal their importance in the fight for equal rights-even though it would take another war to end slavery in the United States. 1 vol, 312 pgs 2017 US, UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA PRESS

1-221810 Waters, Andrew THE QUAKER AND THE GAMECOCK: Nathanael Greene, Thomas Sumter, and the Revolutionary War for the Soul of the South As the newly appointed commander of the Southern Continental Army in December 1780, Nathanael Greene quickly realized victory would not only require defeating the British Army, but also subduing the region's divided populace. That included managing South Carolina's determined but unreliable Patriot militia, led by Thomas Sumter, the famed 'Gamecock.' Though Sumter would go on to a long political career, it was as a defiant partisan that he first earned the respect of his fellow back-country settlers, a command that would compete with Greene for status and stature in the Revolutionary War's Southern Campaign.

Greene, born to a devout Quaker family and influenced by the faith's tenets, instinctively understood the war's Southern theater involved complex political, personal, and socio-economic challenges, not just military ones. Though never a master of the battlefield, Greene's mindful leadership style established his historic legacy.

The Quaker and the Gameccock tells the story of these two wildly divergent leaders against the backdrop of the American Revolution's last gasp, the effort to extricate a British occupation force from the wild and lawless South Carolina frontier. Both men needed the other to defeat the British, yet their forceful personalities, divergent leadership styles, and opposing objectives would clash again and again, a fascinating story of our nation's bloody birth that still influences our political culture. 1 vol, 224 pgs 2019 US, CASEMATE

1-206450 Welch, Richard F. GENERAL WASHINGTON'S COMMANDO: Benjamin Tallmadge in the Revolutionary War The multi-faceted Revolutionary War career of Benjamin Tallmadge included operations as a dragoon commander, intelligence and counter-intelligence officer, and master of combined land-sea operations. Tallmadge fought in the battles of Long Island, White Plains, and Germantown, and defended the Patriot population in the no-man's-land of Westchester County against British and Tory raiders.

After Washington rewarded him with his own legion, he unleashed bold raids on British-occupied Long Island from his bases in Connecticut. All the while, he ran Washington's most active espionage ring in New York and Long Island. Reversing roles, he played a key role in foiling Benedict Arnold's plot to betray the American stronghold of West Point to the British.

Tallmadge's Revolutionary service graphically illuminates the struggle in the region that witnessed the most continuous, relentless, often pitiless, fighting of the struggle. In particular, this book describes the internecine quality of the fighting in politically-divided Long Island and Westchester, and details how the struggle continued without let-up even after Yorktown.

Though Tallmadge's fascinating post-war career receives careful attention, the book focuses on his Revolutionary War service. 1 vol, 204 pgs 2012 US, McFARLAND & COMPANY

1-212820 Willis, Sam THE STRUGGLE FOR SEA POWER: A Naval History of the American Revolution The influence of sea power upon history, of the American path to independence, and of the rise and fall of the British Empire. Includes eight pages of color illustrations. This naval perspective tackles one of the greatest of all historical conundrums: How did 13 isolated colonies, which in 1775 began a war with Britain without a navy or an army, win their independence from the greatest naval and military power on earth?

Traces every key military event in the path to American independence from a naval perspective, including valuable new insights into American, British, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Russian history. Also brings this important viewpoint to bear on economic, political, and social developments that were fundamental to the success of the Revolution.

The American Revolution involved a naval war of immense scope and variety, including no fewer than twenty-two navies fighting on five oceans-to say nothing of rivers and lakes. In no other war were so many large-scale fleet battles fought, one of which was the most strategically significant naval battle in all of British, French, and American history. Simultaneous naval campaigns were fought in the English Channel, the North and Mid-Atlantic, the Mediterranean, off South Africa, in the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean, the Pacific, the North Sea and, of course, off the eastern seaboard of America. Not until the Second World War would any nation actively fight in so many different theaters. 1 vol, 608 pgs 2016 US, W.W. NORTON

3-79940 Wilson, David SOUTHERN STRATEGY: Britain's Conquest of SC and GA The Southern Strategy shifts the traditional vantage point of the American Revolution from the Northern colonies to the South in this study of the critical period from 1775 to the spring of 1780. David K. Wilson suggests that the paradox of the British defeat in 1781- after Crown armies had crushed all organized resistance in South Carolina and Georgia - makes sense only if one understands the fundamental flaws in what modern historians label Britain's 'Southern Strategy.' In his assessment he closely examines battles and skirmishes to construct a comprehensive military history of the Revolution in the South through May 1780.

A cartographer and student of battlefield geography, Wilson includes detailed, original battle maps and orders of battle for each engagement. Appraising the strategy and tactics of the most significant conflicts, he tests the thesis that the British could raise the manpower they needed to win in the South by tapping a vast reservoir of Southern Loyalists and finds their policy flawed in both conception and execution.
