It was, and still is, one of the best books on the last campaign in the American Revolution. Using documentary material newly made available, the author wrote vividly and learnedly about an event that still stirs the imagination of the American people. The Yorktown Campaign marks the realization of the American dream of independence, a dream that began more than six years before at Concord and Lexington and ended with Lord Cornwallis's surrender to George Washington on October 19, 1781." Don't let this one get away. A good one! *9BC1
