The first major work on this enigmatic British general for more
than 40 years, William Howe and the American War of Independence
offers fascinating new insights into his performance during the
revolution in America. From 1775 to 1777, Howe commanded the
largest expeditionary force Britain had ever amassed, confronting
the rebel army under George Washington and enjoying a string of
victories. However, his period in command ended in confusion,
bitterness and a parliamentary inquiry, because he proved unable to
crush the rebellion. Exactly what went wrong has puzzled historians
for more than 200 years. For most Howe has been relegated to the
role of a bit player, but, with the help of new evidence, this book
looks afresh at his army, his relationships with key military and
political figures and his own personal qualities. The result is a
compelling reassessment of a forgotten general that offers a new
perspective on a man who won his battles, but could not win his
war.
