Reviews
Between Hattendorf's edits and thought-provoking annotations, and William Bamford's extraordinary attention to his surroundings and experiences in the American colonies, this is a brilliant work that covers decades of expeditions and campaigns belonging to the French & Indian and Revolutionary Wars., Dr. Hattendorf has done a marvelous job of piecing together, editing and annotating these diaries...This little gem of British/American military history is a pleasure to read, adds much to our knowledge of British military operations in America in the eighteenth century, and reflects great credit on its editor as well as its publisher., For those who love primary sources, especially those who study the British army, this book is a must..., ...a valuable insight into campaigning and the British army of the mid- to late eighteenth century. It gives insights into eighteenth century warfare, the life of a junior officer, and the toll of war. More important, it suggests avenues of inquiry for scholars as it informs and engages the reader.

- p***s (694)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseOverall, I'm pleased. It did take the seller 4 days to ship them, which turned into taking longer than I hoped to get them, but that's on the Post Office. They look like the pictures and I got a good deal on them. The seller was really nice when I asked when she was going to ship them and got them out that day. I would buy from her again, so I would recommend her shop. I think if you were in a hurry to get something, you could tell her and she'd make it happen. Thank you, Erica! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
