by Brendan Morressey. Softbound, 96 pages, 7" x 9". By 1781 Britain’s struggle to contain the rebels in her American colonies had reached an inglorious stalemate. Six years from the Britishdefeat by the New England militia at Boston, George Washington’s rebuilt Continental Army (with support from the French) now systematically began to seek out and destroy British forces. Even if protected by seemingly impregnable defenses, Yorktown would be a solitary lesson to the British crown about the odds she now faced in holding on to her colonies. Includes 90 maps, charts and illustrations, campaign strategy, step-by-step battle progress and more.
