About this book

By 1781 Britains struggle to contain the rebels in her American colonies had reached an inglorious stalemate. After six years of inconclusive action George Washingtons rebuilt Continental Army marched on Yorktown - with support from the French - and defeated the British forces led by General Cornwallis. Their triumph led directly to the Treaty of Paris and the birth of the United States as an independent nation.
