Description: "The British Army that fought American Revolutionaries was an Anglo-German army. Britain doubted the commitment of English soldiers and the loyalty of the recently conquered French-speaking Canadiens. George III turned to his relatives in German states to provide troops, often against their will. Many remained after American independence. This is their story" -- Back cover.
