The American Revolution is most often identified by the famous
battles in the northern states, but roughly eighty percent of the
war was fought in the South. The Partisan War examines the details
of the southern campaign of the Continental army from 1780 to 1782
under the command of General Nathanael Greene, who employed the
support of South Carolina backcountry men who often engaged in
"partisan warfare"--what later generations would refer to as
irregular or guerilla tactics. In this concise volume, author
Russell F. Weigley traces the course of the war in South Carolina
from the fall of Charleston in 1780, to the Battle of Eutaw Springs
and the end of effective British military operations in the South
Carolina interior in 1781, and finally to the British surrender and
evacuation of Charleston in 1782. Along the way Weigley also
details the battles of Camden, King's Mountain, and Cowpens, as
well as many of the small engagements and skirmishes that comprised
much of the war in the South. He also introduces readers to famed
partisan leaders Thomas Sumter and Francis Marion. Readers will
emerge with a clearer sense of the significance of South Carolina's
role in the American Revolution and the intensity of the fighting
that took place there.
