Great book!

You might have to search a bit for this book but it is worth it. If your only knowledge of General Cornwallis is from meager US history classes or worse, the movie The Patriot, then you are in for a pleasant suprise. Gen Cornwallis was a soldiers soldier. He shared all the same sufferings of his men. And while a loyal soldier of the crown he actually sympathized with the americans on many of their complaints prior to the war breaking out. I strongly recommend this book!

Rare look at Lord Cornwallis

There are not that many books on General Lord Cornwallis out there on the market, but this is the best one I've read on him. It not only presents Cornwallis, but it also covers a few other British officers as well as American officers. It also covers the rtevolutionary war in good detail. Overall it is a really good book.
