From 1775 to 1781, the Royal Welch Fusiliers fought furiously to uphold British rule in America. With a wealth of previously unused primary accounts, Urban tells the gripping story of one of the most pivotal campaigns in history.
Mark Urban is the Diplomatic Editor of the BBC's Newsnight and was formerly defence correspondent for the Independent. His most recent book is Generals: Ten British Commanders who Shaped the World, described by Tim Collins as 'entertaining, informative and insightful,' and by Allan Mallinson as 'one of the most intelligent books on the British Army I have ever read.'
