A hearty eater, dapper dresser, bookseller to Loyalists and Patriots alike,and married into a staunch Loyalist family, Henry Knox may seem an unlikely hero.But his fascination with warfare and strategy and his support of the Patriot cause prepared him to do what no one else thought was possible: transport heavy artillery from Fort Ticonderoga, up and down snow-covered hills and across frozen lakes, to relieve the siege of Boston. The dramatic story of his achievements is all the more satisfying for being absolutely true, a little-known episode in the history of the American Revolution. Source notes, time line, bibliography, map.

For the first time, an intelligence agent has lived to reveal the inside story of how the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies are literally running out-of-control. Surviving two assassination attempts, Terrell describes how these agencies have illegally wire-tapped offices of senators, plotted against the president and defied federal court orders while doggedly pursuing their own military agenda.

“Well-documented, entertaining. . . . This excellent popular history should attract a wide audience with its fresh perspective.” —Publishers Weekly Drawing on hundreds of specialist sources, contemporary and archival, Patriot Battles is the comprehensive one-volume study of the military aspects of the War of Independence. The first part of the book offers a richly detailed examination of the nuts and bolts of eighteenth-century combat: For example, who fought and what motivated them, whether patriot or redcoat, Hessian or Frenchman? How were they enlisted and trained? How were they clothed and fed? What weapons did they use, and how effective were they? When soldiers became casualties or fell ill, how did medical services deal with them? What roles did loyalists, women, blacks, and Indians play? The second part of the book gives a closer look at the war's greatest battles, with maps provided for each. Which men were involved, and how many? What was the state of their morale and equipment? What parts did terrain and weather play? What were the qualities of the respective commanders, and what tactics did they employ? How many casualties were inflicted? And no less important, how did the soldiers fight? Throughout, many cherished myths are challenged, reputations are reassessed, and long-held assumptions are tested. For all readers, Patriot Battles is one of the most satisfying and illuminating works to be added to the literature on the War of Independence in many years. “An interesting and easily digestible study appealing to both military-history buffs and general readers.” —Booklist “An iconoclastic, provocative study of the Revolutionary War that invalidates a few chestnuts.” —Kirkus Reviews

"The story of Maj. Gen. George Olmsted, who, with his staff, originated rescue operations resulting in the freeing of thousands of prisoners from Japanese prison camps in World War II, and who, in civilian life became one of the world's great financiers, is sharply delineated in thhis biography by Howard L. Dutkin. It is an incredible story - - and yet the facts are all on the record. The New York Times, editorializing on the prisoner rescue in the issue of Aug. 24, 1945, said in part: "Like many spectacular deeds of the war, the smooth operation of the parachute teams has been due not only to individual daring ... but to careful step by step training in organization. Like the Commandos, the rescue teams knew precisely where they were going, what they wanted to do and how to do it. Brigadier General George Olmsted, who planned and directed their activities left very little to chance. ... It is a bright chapter in the Pacific war." "--Cover flap
