"A depiction and an interpretation of the way that battles and campaigns were fought during the American Revolutionary War. Specifically: Bunker Hill; Quebec; Trenton and Princeton; Brandywine; Oriskany; Saratoga; King's Mountain; Cowpens; Guilford Court House; and the Chesapeake Capes."

"An interesting read (with the insights into the conception and attempted implementation of the Intolerable Acts) on the background causes of the Revolution, the difficult confederation of the colonies, the prosecution of the War of Independence, and the efforts to form a workable and lasting government once freedom was won."

"A good balanced history of the American Rebellion - political, military, social and constitutional - from 1763 to 1789"

"This is an excellent version of not only the silversmith's famous ride, but also of the general situation in the colonies at the time. Mr. Fischer dispels the common myth that the colonials were mere farmers who suddenly banded together to fight behind fences and trees to deliver a devastating blow to crown forces searching for weapons that April morning of 1775. Instead, communities throughout New England were adequately armed, well trained, and most importantly led by veteran officers... This is a great book packed with information and an extensive bibliography."

"Not a history of the battles, but a strategic history showing the American Revolution from the standpoint of the British government and military leaders as they attempted to execute an overseas war of great complexity."

A day by day account of the events of the American Revolution

"Nicholas Benson (former adjutant of the 3rd Battalion) has written one of the better small unit histories of the Gulf War... Mr. Benson interviewed members of the Regiment who fought in the Gulf, along with family members...There is also a good selection of photos."
