Washington and Cornwallis

The Battle for America, 1775-1783

Description

Washington and Cornwallis is a gripping narrative of the defeats and narrow victories that won the States' independence from the English crown. Patterson chronicles the battles waged between General George Washington and Lieutenant General Charles Lord Cornwallis, and examines their methods of command and their controversial military decisions, and ultimately brings into focus the personalities of these two pivotal Revolutionary War generals.

Reviews

...a gripping tail...Patterson worked diligently to present his subjects as more than just hero or villain.
