5.0 out of 5 stars A great way to learn about pivotal events, 2 Mar 2008
By Mr. J. J. Niland (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
This review is from: The Battle for New York: The City at the Heart of the American Revolution (Paperback)
I read about General Howe and his apparent incompetence in America in the book 'Generals'. Intrigued, I sought out a book on the American Revolution to understand a bit more about this crucial time in world history.

'The Battle fo New York' provides exactly what I was looking for. As the name suggests, it focuses mainly on the struggle to control New York, but it also sets the context of the Revolution more generally. It's full of detail, and especially enjoyable are the anecdotes of various participants, from both sides of the battle.

An excellent read, both entertaining and informative.
