Brandywine: A Military History of the Battle that Lost Philadelphia but Saved America, September 11, 1777 by Michael C. Harris

5.0

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.
