About this Item

This copy is in new, unmarked condition bound in red cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is lightly sunned to the spine but still in as new condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. 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. Some of the battles are described in some detail, and it is intended that the outline account given for the others is sufficient to enable the reader to understand the action within the context of the narrative. Ref A5 6.
