Decision at Brandywine

Despite its size and significance?Brandywine was the third bloodiest engagement of the war, with 1,300 American and 581 British casualties?the battle has been the subject of very few studies. Historian Robert M. Dunkerly analyzes the fighting near the Birmingham Meeting House where the battle turned. By dissecting the struggle on Birmingham Hill in detail, he offers a case study in weapons, tactics, and terrain analysis critical to a holistic understanding of the entire battle and what it would mean for the future of the Continental Army. In the process he not only explains how the Continental Army?s lack of uniformed training and inexperience in large open-field battles played a major role in their defeat, but also provides important information about Revolutionary War combat in general. --from Amazon.
