Michael Stephenson's "Patriot Battles" is a comprehensive and
richly detailed study of the military aspects of the War of
Independence, and a fascinating look at the nuts and bolts of
eighteenth-century combat. Covering everything from what motivated
those who chose to fight to how they were enlisted, trained,
clothed, and fed, it offers a close-up view of the war's greatest
battles, with maps provided for each. Along the way many cherished
myths are challenged, reputations are reassessed, and long-held
assumptions are tested.
One of the most satisfying and illuminating contributions to
the literature on the War of Independence in many years, "Patriot
Battles" is a vastly entertaining work of superior scholarship and
a refreshing wind blowing through some of American history's
dustier corridors.
