This brilliant account of the proud and ferocious American fighters who stood up to the British forces in savage battles highlights just how crucial these individuals were in deciding both the fate of the Carolina colonies and the outcome of the American Civil War.

This book is truly amazing. I am lifelong student of this war and the author has done an excellent job in presenting his case in a factual way. Even characters he does not like, he was extremely fair about. People he loves, he does not sugarcoat whatever shortcomings they may have had. The layout and progression of the material was amazing. My best compliment is regarding his writing style. Without sacrificing any scholarly nature of the material, you feel time and again that the writer is simply having a conversation with you. I was very sad when this book was done.

Living in North Carolina and have visited many of the the battle sites in this book along the Liberty Trail I strongly recommend this book. Just went to Guilford Battlefield two weeks ago. Many of the commanders of NC troops are names that famous in the history of North Carolina and South Carolina. One is General Davidson in which the County i live in is named after him.

Digs deeply into the personalities of the characters on both sides Patriots ,Tories,British and Continental troops and leaders. Does not accept opinions and judgements that have been passed down as fact for over two centuries. Hope audible will follow up with the conclusion in the Road to Charleston. Narrator was excellent.

This book provides an in-depth discussion of the Carolina phase of the American Revolution. The author skillfully presents the biographies of all the major players in the struggle, and expertly weaves those biographies into the appropriate portions of the tale itself or the appendix. I don’t believe any military history can be written without some expression of the author’s opinion about the participants’ strategies and tactics, and usually some speculation about possible alternative outcomes. Well, this book is no different, the author’s original ideas and theories are superb while his comment on the scholarship of others is fair and unbiased.

Excellent History of the War in the Carolinas

Of all the history of the American revolution the southern campaign before Yorktown is often neglected, seldom taught and tremendously misunderstood. It’s particularly important because it was as much as Civil War as it was an insurrection. This is a tremendous book, highlighting that campaign and the differences between different segments of the southern communities that went to war with each other.

Wonderful book highlighting this often ignored phase of the American revolution

Though at times a bit opinionated and presentist, the author presents and in depth and detailed account of the vital, but often neglected southern campaign of the British Army in 1780-81. He is careful to give both commanders and men on both sides full consideration, even General Cornwallis, Especially strong is his portrayal of Nathaneal Greene, who never won a battle, but whose winning strategy freed the Carolinas and Georgia of British control and paved the way for the Franco-American triumph at Yorktown. He also does an excellent job of depicting the mutually brutal war between southern Patriots and Tories. Notably missing, however, is the role of slavery in the conflict, given that British efforts to free southern slaves played a key role in motivating slave-owning Patriots. Despite this lapse and a few other weaknesses, I would highly recommend this work to both scholars and general readers interested in this key phase of the American Revolution.
