Wars rarely turn out as expected. This book shows how Britain
entered a conflict that it believed could not be lost. The American
Patriots were similarly optimistic about their martial prospects.
Although they eventually secured independence, it was only with the
assistance of France and indirectly Spain, who diverted British
resources from the conflict in America, allowing France eventually
to deliver a knockout blow at Yorktown. This extensive yet
accessible exploration into the War of American Independence
provides aclear analysis of why this complex conflict occurred and
why it ended as it did, revealing the fragile nature of the
American Patriot cause. An essential guide for any history student,
including those specializing in war/peace studies and the study of
international relations, as well the general reader with an
interest in the study of war.
