The response from the other side of the Atlantic was slow, but when it arrived it appeared overwhelming. Hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of troops gathered to re-establish the Crown's control. If the Revolution was not to die in its first year, the Americans would need to take on the largest expeditionary force ever sent by Great Britain up to that point... with an army of amateurs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Casemate Illustrated volume discusses the northern strategy in 1776--the year in which Britain's war effort became hopelessly disjointed, with two armies operating on entirely different agendas. It covers the battles of Long Island, White Plains and Trenton, among others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 163624078X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636240787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Casemate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"David Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981707903231,"sku":"9781636240787","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7885c2fe-2e85-4c9b-97bf-a22d711cfc94.jpg?v=1683257098","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-northern-strategy-1776-david-smith-9781636240787","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
