SynopsisThe American War for Independence remains-now, nearly 250 years since its onset-a relatively new field of study. Historians are exploring parts of it for the first time. Shocking as it may seem, many of the war's campaigns and battles have become the subjects of book-length treatments only over the past several years. Some, incredibly, remain largely ignored to this very day. Fortunately, this generation is blessed by the emergence of a new phalanx of dedicated and talented Revolutionary War historians determined to fill the outstanding gaps in our understanding of the war that created the United States of America. This book, The 10 Key Campaigns of the American Revolution represents some of the best new work and keenest insights on the Revolutionary War. In it, the war's leading historians look closely at the campaigns that paved the way to victory in the quest for American independence. This is history in the truest sense-carefully researched, clearly described, and best of all told with a storyteller's instinct for high drama and excitement. For the story of America's founding is dramatic, indeed-one of the most dramatic stories ever told. Book jacket., A Nation is Born Lexington, Bunker Hill, Saratoga, Washington, Hamilton, Benedict Arnold. All familiar names, but how did they all fit together? How did merchants, lawyers, farmers, and cobblers come together to defeat the British Empire, its powerful navy, and its Hessian auxiliaries? For that matter, who were the Hessians, and what is an auxiliary? Bringing together ten eminent Revolutionary War experts, editor Ed Lengel presents their stirring narratives of the military campaigns that changed history and gave birth to a new nation. These historians guide you through the fateful decade of the 1770s in British America. In 1776, you battle in Brooklyn Heights, then cross the Delaware with Washington. In the late summer and fall of '77, you bushwhack down the Champlain Valley with Johnny Burgoyne. You struggle through winter with Washington and his beleaguered troops in Valley Forge. When the spring of '78 turns to summer, you endure the oppressive heat and the massive battle on New Jersey farmland at Monmouth Courthouse. In 1780 your journey takes you south into a bloody civil war--Tory versus patriot, neighbor versus neighbor in Georgia and the Carolinas. Finally, in '81, you join the patriots as they maneuver north into Virginia, whereWashington and the French navy can trap the British on the Yorktown Peninsula. Complete with maps and suggested further reading, The 10 Key Campaigns of the American Revolution is a short course in one of history's most consequential wars, explaining how citizens became soldiers and how their dedication, determination, and force of will defeated the world's greatest power and launched a nation like no other.
