From Trenton to Yorktown

The Revolutionary War raged for eight long years as American and British militaries engaged in battles across the continent, with support from Native American and European forces. However, author John R. Maass expertly highlights five key events that ultimately led to colonial independence in his informative and comprehensive book, From Trenton to Yorktown. These pivotal moments include well-known battles such as Trenton, Princeton, and Yorktown, as well as the strategic leadership and reforms that sustained General Washington's troops during the harsh winter of 1778. Furthermore, Maass delves into the influential decision made by French King Louis XVI to provide crucial support during the Saratoga Campaign. Through challenging traditional ideas of warfare success, this book offers a new and enlightening perspective on the Revolutionary War.
