In a stunning work of forgotten history, Walter Edgar takes the American Revolution far beyond Lexington and Concord, recreating pivotal months in a nation's struggle for freedom. Gripping, fascinating, and meticulously researched, Edgar's masterful history captures the heat, the fury, and the intense human drama of Britain's ruthless South Carolina campaign. It is a story of military brilliance and of devastating blunders -- and the courage of an impossibly outnumbered force of demoralized patriots who suffered terribly at the hands of a merciless enemy, yet slowly gained confidence through a series of small triumphs that convinced them their war could be won.

Alive with incident and color, Partisans and Redcoats presents unforgettable portraits of real-life heroes and villains, Britons and Americans alike, as it chronicles two remarkable years in the fiery birth of a nation.

"[B]y highlighting an often overlooked theater of battle, Edgar provides a solid addition to the Revolutionary War literature."
