A Defense Of The Hessians

By Joseph G. Rosengarten

Book Overview

A Defense of the Hessians is a book written by Joseph G. Rosengarten that provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of Hessian soldiers during the American Revolution. The author argues that these soldiers, who were hired by the British to fight against the American colonists, were not the brutal mercenaries that they have been portrayed as in American history. Instead, Rosengarten presents evidence that the Hessians were professional soldiers who fought with honor and skill, and who were often mistreated by their British commanders. The book explores the history of the Hessians, their recruitment, training, and deployment in America, and their experiences during the war. It also examines the impact of the Hessians on the outcome of the war and on the development of American military strategy. Overall, A Defense of the Hessians is a compelling and thought-provoking account of an often-overlooked aspect of the American Revolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
