Produktinformationen zu „Germantown (ePub)“
The award-winning author of Brandywine examines a pivotal but overlooked battle of the American Revolution's Philadelphia Campaign.
Today, Germantown is a busy Philadelphia neighborhood. On October 4, 1777, it was a small village on the outskirts of the colonial capital-and the site of one of the American Revolution's largest battles. Now Michael C. Harris sheds new light on this important action with a captivating historical study.
After defeating Washington's rebel army in the Battle of Brandywine, General Sir William Howe took Philadelphia. But Washington soon returned, launching a surprise attack on the British garrison at Germantown. The recapture of the colonial capital seemed within Washington's grasp until poor decisions by the American high command led to a clear British victory.
With original archival research and a deep knowledge of the terrain, Harris merges the strategic, political, and tactical history of this complex operation into a single compelling account. Complete with original maps, illustrations, and modern photos, and told largely through the words of those who fought there, Germantown is a major contribution to American Revolutionary studies.
