Description

The events of the American Revolution signified by Lexington, Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, Saratoga, and Yorktown are familiar to American readers. Far less familiar is the truth that, for the British, the American colonies were just one front in a world war. England used to be also pitted against France and Spain. Not all the time accountable for the seas and threatened with invasion, England tried grimly for eight years to subdue its rebellious colonies; to carry Canada, the West Indies, India, and Gibraltar; and to divide its European enemies. On this vivid history Piers Mackesy views the American Revolution from the point of view of the British government and the British military leaders as they attempted to execute an in a foreign country war of great complexity. Their tactical response to the American Revolution is now comprehensible, seen as a part of a grand imperial strategy.
