The Philadelphia Campaign: Volume One: Brandywine and the Fall of Philadelphia
"The text is filled with intriguing details that contribute to understanding the personnel and military units involved. ... Recommended." --Choice, October 2007.The Philadelphia Campaign is first-rate, an absorbing work of tenacious research and close scholarship. Thomas J. McGuire knows the time of the American Revolution and has been over the ground in and about Philadelphia in a way few writers ever have. But it is his empathy for the human reality of war and the great variety of people caught up in it, whether in the service of the king or the Glorious Cause of America, that makes this book especially alive and memorable. --David McCullough, author of John Adams and 1776
