The commanders who led the opposing armies of the American War of
Independence (1775–1783) came from remarkably different
backgrounds. They included not only men from Britain and America,
but from Germany, France and Spain as well. Some were from the
great families of the "Old World," while others were frontiersmen
or farmers in the "New World." Despite their differing origins, all
were leaders in the events that led to the establishment of the
United States of America. This book details the appearance, careers
and personalities of the commanders on both sides. It covers such
famous figures as George Washington and Lord Cornwallis along with
less well-known men such as Admiral Suffren and Bernando de Galvez.
