A Battlefield Atlas of the American Revolution

This volume is a rich visual and narrative overview of the principal military engagements of the American War for independence. Two-color, full-page maps, aid the visual comprehension of students as well as military history buffs, making this book an ideal classroom aid, easy-to-handle battlefield tour-guide, or library reference. Symonds narrates each battle in clear, concise, and readable text. Four introductory essays draw the narrative together, each highlighting a new facet of the British-American conflict. The maps provided by cartographer William J. Clipson are specifically suited to each description. This book is the second collaboration between the two scholars. "This is an excellent introduction to the major military events of the Revolution, and a most useful reference." -Infantry
