Continental Vs Redcoat: American Revolutionary War by David Bonk

heregrim's review

4.0

I liked learning about the gradual strengthening of the Continental Army over the course of the American Revolution. The book emphasizes the training done by Von Steuben as a key ingredient to their later success at Monmouth and Cowpens and ultimately their success in the war as a whole. The book uses three battles to show that growing strength, while still showing the skill of the British soldiers as a whole. I most enjoyed learning about the future endeavors of the various regiments described outside of these three battles, especially that the 7th Royal Fusiliers being the only regiment to lose it's colors twice.
