	DIAMANT, LINCOLN. Chaining The Hudson: The Fight For The River In The American Revolution. Carol Publishing Group, Secaucus: 1989. Softcover. Very good condition. Much of the American colonists' struggle with the British took place on the banks of the Hudson River, which served a key role as highway and battlefield. When the Americans drew on substantial iron ore deposits and blast furnaces in the the immediate vicinity, they successfully blockaded the river for almost five years by forging the formidable chain ever, a defensive weapon the British never tested. All of the fear and excitement of war is witnessed here in letters, logs, military orders, and personal diaries - from directives by George Washington to the journal of a humble Continental private. This is history (illustrated with photographs and engravings) and it is drama, a true account that races with the velocity of adventure fiction. Includes an Index. ¶ 233 pages.

	MANN, BARBARA ALICE. George Washington's War On Native America. University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln and London: 2009. Softcover. Brand new book. The Revolutionary War is ordinarily presented as a conflict exclusively between colonists and the British, fought along the northern Atlantic seacoast. George Washington's War on Native America recounts the tragic events on the forgotten western front of the American RevolutionÑa war fought against and ultimately won by Native America. Although history texts often erroneously present the Natives, primarily the Iroquois League and the Ohio Union, as allies (or lackeys) of the British, Native America was in fact working from its own agenda: to prevent settlers from invading the Old Northwest. Throughout the war, the unwavering goal of the Revolutionary Army, under George Washington, and its associated settler militias was to break the power of the Iroquois League, which had successfully held off invasion for the preceding two centuries, and the newly formed Ohio Union. To destroy the Natives who stood in the way of land seizure, Washington authorized a series of rampages intended to destroy the League and the Union by starvation. As a result, uncounted thousands of Natives perished from New York and Pennsylvania to Ohio. Barbara Alice Mann tells how, in the wake of the massive assaults, Native America nonetheless won the war in the West and managed to maintain control of the land west and north of the Allegheny-Ohio River systems. Barbara Alice Mann is a lecturer in the English department at the University of Toledo and the author of several books, including Iroquoian Women: The Gantowisas, and the editor of Make a Beautiful Way: The Wisdom of Native American Women, available in a Bison Books edition. [Mann's book] serves as a powerful statement of the native side of a conflict which has been sugar coated for two centuries. . . . The book should be required reading for all students seeking to understand the conflict on the frontier that lasted until the late nineteenth century. Given the extensive documentation provided, it will serve as an extremely valuable reference for college students and authors.ÑWalter Dunn, Journal of Military History Mann's grasp of primary sources makes her narrative one of the most detailed recent studies of the military campaigns in western Pennsylvania and New York during the American War of Independence.ÑPatrick Spero, History ¶ 312 pages.

	SPRING, MATTHEW H. With Zeal And With Bayonets Only: The British Army On Campaign In North America, 1775-1783. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. A thorough reinterpretation of British performance during the American Revolution. The image is indelible: densely packed lines of slow-moving Redcoats picked off by American sharpshooters. Now Matthew H. Spring reveals how British infantry in the American Revolutionary War really fought. This groundbreaking book offers a new analysis of the British Army during the American rebellion at both operational and tactical levels. Presenting fresh insights into the speed of British tactical movements, Spring discloses how the system for training the army prior to 1775 was overhauled and adapted to the peculiar conditions confronting it in North America. First scrutinizing such operational problems as logistics, manpower shortages, and poor intelligence, Spring then focuses on battlefield tactics to examine how troops marched to the battlefield, deployed, advanced, and fought. In particular, he documents the use of turning movements, the loosening of formations, and a reliance on bayonet-oriented shock tactics. Highlighting the army's ability to tailor its tactical methods to local conditions, Spring demonstrates both the professional competence of officers and their confidence in the men under them to perform tactics far removed from the drill manuals. Although the British were constrained in many ways, they moved rapidly to correct tactical inadequacies. Written with flair and a wealth of details that will engage scholars and history enthusiasts alike, With Zeal and with Bayonets Only offers a thorough reinterpretation of how the British Army's North American campaign progressed and invites serious reassessment of most of its battles. After reading this book, no one will picture Redcoats the same way again. Matthew Spring holds a Ph.D. in history from the University of Leeds and teaches history at Truro School, an independent secondary school in Cornwall, England. ¶ 352 pages.

	STOUT, NEIL R. The Perfect Crisis: The Beginning Of The Revolutionary War. New York University Press, New York: 1976. Hardcover with dustjacket. Good condition. There is a tear in the dustjacket on the back. At the outset of 1774, few people on either side of the Atlantic Ocean believed that an American Union was possible - by September of that year, it was a reality. The year of perfect crisis witnessed the development of the colonial revolt in America from a political protest to an armed rebellion and the consolidation of divisive factions into an effective force of resistance united in a common cause. In this important look at the beginning of the revolutionary war, Neil R. Stout focuses on the period between the Boston Tea Party and the Battle of Lexington as the critical turning point in the rebellion and uncovers the campaigns of propaganda and terrorism and the political movements toward representative government in the coloniesprior to April 19, 1775, to reveal a nation already in a state of civil war.
