Keegan weaves history and geography to shed new light on the conflicts in North America in this brilliant examination of battles fought over three centuries between, variously, the British, the French, loyalists, revolutionaries, native Americans, Unionists and Confederates. Above all though, this is an informal, personal and highly readable account from one of our greatest military historians. Despite his self-confessed 'love' of America, he is not uncritical of some well-known historical players.
