(Adult Reference)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The story of the campaign that won American independence is fully told for the first time in this splendidly dramatic book. It is the story of how the ragged Continental Army, in despair after almost six years of hunger and defeat, joined with its new French allies in a lightning stroke that brought victory with in two months. By turns humorous and tragic, always gripping, this brilliant account captures the spirit and sensations of the decisive months of our violent birth as a nation. - adapted from book jacket.
