This book examines the strategies pursued by the Colonies and the other combatants in the American War for Independence, placing the conflict in its proper global context.
'A thoroughly competent, multifaceted collection of essays that throw light on a complex campaign and which, as a bonus for modernists, raise uncomfortable questions about current campaigns as well.' Geoffrey Till, Diplomacy & Statecraft, Vol. 22, 2, June 2011
'...the book provides a unique product that contains insightful analysis for those attempting to understand the strategic context of the American Revolution from the perspectives of both major and minor participants.' - Journal of Strategic Studies, Vol. 34, No. 2, 283, April 2011
'All of the essays are interesting, scholarly and engaging. The editors have performed an excellent job in avoiding the repetition or duplication of material. The volume will be of great use to lecturers teaching third-year undergraduate and postgraduate courses; the engaged general reader will find much of interest in it. Perhaps the only criticism that can be made would be that some idea of what "strategy" might have meant to Washington or Greene would have made an interesting chapter: an exploration of their understanding of history and war might have been illuminating.' Philip Williams, The Northern Mariner/Le Marin du Nord
'Strategy in the American War of Independence will prove valuable reading for anyone seriously interested in the Revolutionary War or strategy.' Albert Nofi, The NYMAS Review
