Overview
The famous battles that form the backbone of the story put forth of American independenceāat Lexington and Concord, Brandywine, Germantown, Saratoga, and Monmouthāwhile crucial, did not lead to the surrender at Yorktown.
It was in the three-plus years between Monmouth and Yorktown that the war was won.
Alan Pell Crawfordās riveting new book,This Fierce People, tells the story of these missing three years, long ignored by historians, and of theĀ fierce battles fought in the South that made up the central theater of military operations in the latter years of the Revolutionary War, upending the essential American myth that the War of Independence was fought primarily in the North.
Weaving throughout the stories of the heroic men and women, largely unsung patriotsāAfrican Americans and whites, militiamen and āirregulars,ā patriots and Tories, Americans, Frenchmen, Brits, and Hessians, Crawford reveals the misperceptions and contradictions of our accepted understanding of how our nation came to be, as well as the national narrative that Americaās victory over the British lay solely with General George Washington and his troops.
