Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of the Life and Correspondence of Nathanael Greene, Major General of the Armies of the United States, in the War of the Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 With regard to that part of those events in which General Greene was himself an actor, there is the fullest evidence that it was his intention to give to the world an exposition of the causes and motives that governed his actions. In a letter to Mr. John Adams, of the 28th of January, he writes thus the American armies have gained some advantage; my public letters will have given you some idea of them, but the previous measures which led to important events, and my reasons for those measures must lie in the dark until a more leisure hour. The people are deter mined to defend themselves from age to age, rather than give up their independence. It is not material to explain, though there is no difficulty in doing it, why these papers were never brought to public notice, after the death of General Greene. Suffice it to say, that much time was necessarily consumed, after they came into my possession, __in perusing them, and making my extracts from them. But after surmounting this labour, [found that there was a considerable space yet to be filled up, and for which the materials could only be found among his early friends, and in the country in which he passed his early life, and acted during the greatest part of the Revolutionary war.'

Excerpt: ... with regard to them, be as inaccurate as they are with regard to the numbers Chap. with the southern army, the deficiencies in the Virginia line must have been v DEGREES- DEGREES DEGREES, much greater than that admitted. The field-return of the army of the same date, with Mr. Jefferson's statement, gives of the Virginia brigade, five hundred and thirty-four rank and file fit for duty, thirty metrosses, and seventy-four cavalry--about one half the number claimed by the state. The deficiency of six hundred and twenty-two, if with the army, must be made up of noncommissioned officers, musicians, sick, and absent on duty. But, it is well known, that the cavalry especially, never equalled one hundred, instead of three. Yet, there was obviously no want of zeal in the government of Virginia to discharge its duty in the common cause. Their legislature being in session when General Greene was moving southwardly, passed a most liberal act in consequence of the requisitions which he made upon them. But laws, without the means of carrying them into effect, can neither create or supply an army. Very little aid to the southern army ever grew out of that law. Yet, there was one hardship which the southern department generally, and Virginia in particular, had at this time to complain of, which has remained unnoticed, although its effects were at the time very sensibly felt. When Congress resolved, more in the spirit of policy than of faith, not to carry into effect the convention of Saratoga, the troops captured with Burgoyne were marched into the interior of Virginia, and here they were subsisted altogether by Virginia. The subsistence of prisoners, at this time, required of the state two thousand rations per day, and was so much subtracted from

Book excerpt: Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a Polish-Lithuanian born in 1746, was one of the most important figures of the modern world. Fleeing his homeland after a death sentence was placed on his head (when he dared court a woman above his station), he came to America one month after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, literally showing up on Benjamin Franklin's doorstep in Philadelphia with little more than a revolutionary spirit and a genius for engineering. Entering the fray as a volunteer in the war effort, he quickly proved his capabilities and became the most talented engineer of the Continental Army. Kosciuszko went on to construct the fortifications for Philadelphia, devise battle plans that were integral to the American victory at the pivotal Battle of Saratoga, and designed the plans for Fortress West Point—the same plans that were stolen by Benedict Arnold. Then, seeking new challenges, Kosciuszko asked for a transfer to the Southern Army, where he oversaw a ring of African-American spies. A lifelong champion of the common man and woman, he was ahead of his time in advocating tolerance and standing up for the rights of slaves, Native Americans, women, serfs, and Jews. Following the end of the war, Kosciuszko returned to Poland and was a leading figure in that nation's Constitutional movement. He became Commander in Chief of the Polish Army and valiantly led a defense against a Russian invasion, and in 1794 he led what was dubbed the Kosciuszko Uprising—a revolt of Polish-Lithuanian forces against the Russian occupiers. Captured during the revolt, he was ultimately pardoned by Russia's Paul I and lived the remainder of his life as an international celebrity and a vocal proponent for human rights. Thomas Jefferson, with whom Kosciuszko had an ongoing correspondence on the immorality of slaveholding, called him "as pure a son of liberty as I have ever known." A lifelong bachelor with a knack for getting involved in doomed relationships, Kosciuszko navigated the tricky worlds of royal intrigue and romance while staying true to his ultimate passion—the pursuit of freedom for all. This definitive and exhaustively researched biography fills a long-standing gap in historical literature with its account of a dashing and inspiring revolutionary figure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling history of the British Army in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries—showing how the military gathered knowledge from campaigns across the globe “Superb analysis.”—William Anthony Hay, Wall Street Journal At the outbreak of the War of Austrian Succession in 1742, the British Army’s military tactics were tired and outdated, stultified after three decades of peace. The army’s leadership was conservative, resistant to change, and unable to match new military techniques developing on the continent. Losses were cataclysmic and the force was in dire need of modernization—both in terms of strategy and in leadership and technology. In this wide-ranging and highly original account, Huw J. Davies traces the British Army’s accumulation of military knowledge across the following century. An essentially global force, British armies and soldiers continually gleaned and synthesized strategy from war zones the world over: from Europe to the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Davies records how the army and its officers put this globally acquired knowledge to use, exchanging information and developing into a remarkable vehicle of innovation—leading to the pinnacle of its military prowess in the nineteenth century.
