Volume 2 of the American Fights and Fighters series
Cyrus Brady's, 'Fights and Fighters' series became popular after
its fourth volume, Indian Fights and Fighters captured the public
imagination and brought focus to his other works. Brady was a
prolific author of fiction and non-fiction often calling on his
extensive knowledge of his own country, the United States of
America as inspiration. He has maintained his own consistent
standard for the delivery of immediate and entertaining prose in
volume two of the series-Revolutionary Fights and Fighters. In
fact, some might claim that the subject matter of this book goes
somewhat beyond his title, though not in ways that are likely to
cause complaint among its readers. Certainly the first hundred
pages describe highly interesting events in the American
revolutionary period 1775-1783. These include the defence of Fort
Sullivan, the Saratoga Campaign, Greene's campaign in the Carolinas
and several of the lesser known naval actions of the conflict. From
this point Brady takes his reader upon St. Clair's notorious and
catastrophic campaign against the Indian tribes of the North West
in 1791-4. The war with France 1798-1800 is described followed by a
riveting account of the war with Tripoli focussing on Decatur, the
Philadelphia and the Barbary pirates. The book concludes with the
War of 1812 covering several notable engagements on sea and on
land. Available in softcover and hardcover with dustjacket.
