Loyalists and Redcoats: A Study in British Revolutionary Policy (Published by the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture and the University of North Carolina Press)

By Paul H. Smith and Paul Hubert Smith

Book Overview

Focusing on the role of the American Loyalists in Great Britain's military policy throughout the Revolutionary War, this book also analyzes the impact of British politics on plans to utilize those colonists who remained faithful to the Crown. The capacity of the Loyalists to affect the war's outcome was directly tied to their projected role in British plans and their contribution can be understood only in relation to British efforts to organize them.Originally published in 1964.A UNC Press Enduring Edition -- UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital technology to make available again books from our distinguished backlist that were previously out of print.

Must read

This is even better than Mackesy's WAR FOR AMERICA. It should be used as a reference for all students of the British side of the war.
