A excellent book. Covers a pivotal battle in early American history. The ony thing I would say it needs is more maps covering the battle.

An excellent history of the Battle of Brandywine. I found it especially interesting since I live in the area of Howe and Washington's military activity. The author seems to have carefully marshaled the available primary sources and he relates and debunks several myths associated with the battle. I appreciated the short biographies of key characters illustrated with reproductions of their portraits and the appendices which address particular questions, such as Were the Stars and Stripes used at Cooch's Bridge? and what became of key characters after the battle.

A well written account of the battle of Brandywine. Harris provides a thrilling narrative of the action, and makes it easy to follow along. A little heavy on the order of battle, but it is a military history after all. The primary source material really made the battle come alive.
