The Price of Folly: British Blunders in the War of American Independence
This volume aims to show that but for the many political and military mistakes made by British politicians and, to a lesser extent by the service chiefs, the War of American Independence need never have been fought, and if fought, need not have been lost.

Did America win, or England lose, the Revolutionary War?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 28 years ago
Why didn't the English Army crush the colonial forces at Bunker Hill, Harlem Heights, or a dozen other places where their superior numbers and weaponry should have brought the day? The author, a direct descendant of British General John Burgoyne (who surrendered at Saratoga), details interesting English political aspects that affected the conduct of the war, including the desire senior military leaders held for reconciliation. A must for students of American or Military History
