The American Revolution presented a series of unique tactical
challenges to its competing factions. For Britain, the Army would
be forced to re-learn many of the lessons from the Seven Years’
War. After the debacle of Concord and Bunker Hill, the British
implemented a range of changes throughout the Army, including the
modification of accepted tactical doctrine. Additionally, the
British formed alliances with various independent German states.
The soldiers they provided thus answered to different armies. How
much their tactics adapted during the war, therefore varied from
state to state. The Continental Army was founded in 1775 and was
initially heavily styled on its British opponents. That began to
change in 1778 thanks to the efforts of Prussian officer Baron
Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. Following their formal alliance with
the colonies in 1778, France deployed military assets to North
America. French officers also provided tactical advice to the
Continental Army, and vice versa, particularly when they worked
together successfully during the siege of Yorktown in 1781.
Featuring specially commissioned artwork, this absorbing study
investigates the various participants’ battlefield tactics,
casting light on how tactical theory and battlefield experience
shaped the conduct of battle in the American Revolution.
