Biyografiler ve Anılar

A Stranded American Army, a Relentless Enemy, and a Thrilling Pursuit and Escape that Changed the Outcome of the American Revolution &;In the most barren inhospitable unhealthy part of North America, opposed by the most savage, inveterate perfidious cruel Enemy, with zeal and with Bayonets only, it was resolv&;d to follow Green&;s Army, to the end of the World.&; So wrote British general Charles O&;Hara about the epic confrontation between Nathanael Greene and Charles Cornwallis during the winter of 1780-81. Only Greene&;s starving, threadbare Continentals stood between Cornwallis and control of the South&;and a possible end to the American rebellion. Burning their baggage train so that they could travel more quickly, the British doggedly pursued Greene&;s bedraggled soldiers, yet the rebels remained elusive. Daniel Morgan&;s stunning victory at Cowpens over a superior British force set in motion the &;Race to the Dan,&; Greene&;s month-long strategic retreat across the Carolinas. In constant rain and occasional snow, Greene&;s soldiers&;tracking the ground with their bloody feet&;bound toward a secret stash of boats on the Dan River. Just before Cornwallis could close his trap, the Continentals crossed into Virginia and safety. Greene&;s path featured three near-miss river escapes, the little-known Battle of Cowan&;s Ford, and a final chase so close that the fate of the American South&;and the American effort&;rested on one wrong British move.      With a background section on the Southern theater in 1780, and a summary outlining the lives and careers of its important officers, To the End of the World: Nathanael Greene, Charles Cornwallis, and the Race to the Dan is a carefully documented and beautifully written account of this extraordinary chapter of American history. The book not only showcases the incredible dramatics of the American Revolution&;s &;Great Escape,&; but also provides a compelling look at the psychological and intellectual distinctions between its two great generals, Greene and Cornwallis.
