In The Road to Guilford Courthouse, one of the most acclaimed
military histories of the Revolutionary War ever written, John
Buchanan explored the first half of the critical Southern Campaign
and introduced readers to its brilliant architect, Major General
Nathanael Greene. In this long-awaited sequel, Buchanan brings this
story to its dramatic conclusion. Greene's Southern Campaign was
the most difficult of the war. With a supply line stretching
hundreds of miles northward, it revealed much about the crucial
military art of provision and transport. Insufficient manpower a
constant problem, Greene attempted to incorporate black regiments
into his army, a plan angrily rejected by the South Carolina
legislature. A bloody civil war between Rebels and Tories was
wreaking havoc on the South at the time, forcing Greene to address
vigilante terror and restore civilian government. As his
correspondence with Thomas Jefferson during the campaign shows,
Greene was also bedeviled by the conflict between war and the
rights of the people, and the question of how to set constraints
under which a free society wages war. Joining Greene is an
unforgettable cast of characters—men of strong and, at times,
antagonistic personalities—all of whom are vividly portrayed. We
also follow the fate of Greene's tenacious foe, Lieutenant Colonel
Francis, Lord Rawdon. By the time the British evacuate
Charleston—and Greene and his ragged, malaria-stricken, faithful
Continental Army enter the city in triumph—the reader has
witnessed in telling detail one of the most punishing campaigns of
the Revolution, culminating in one of its greatest victories.
