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.
