Writing from the British perspective, Carpenter has given us an
incisive new look at Cornwallis's march to folly in the South.
Southern Gambit offers the best explanation of why the earl, the
master tactician, came to grief when matched against Nathanael
Greene, the master strategist. This is a splendid book."" - Mark

Monmouth Campaign, and the Politics of Battle

Through lively prose and careful and probing analyses, Carpenter
has delivered a welcome contribution to our understanding of the
American Revolution in the southern colonies."" - Ricardo Herrera,
