The Price Of Folly

British Blunders in the War of American Independence

by William Seymour

In a critical analysis of the conduct of the War of American Independence, The Price of Folly argues that the conflict need never have been fought, and certainly not lost, by the British. Its outcome was due more to the many political and military errors made by British politicians and leading generals than to any grand strategy on the part of the American colonists.

William Seymour, a direct descendent of British General John Burgoyne, who was defeated at the battle of Saratoga, marshals broad historical knowledge and trenchant insight to support his thesis. Whether describing the thinking of the Whitehall policy makers or brilliantly chronicling all the major battles form Bunker Hill to Yorktown, he gives new life to the dramatic events that helped create the United States, the modern world's most powerful nation. Anyone with an interest in British or American history will be fascinated by this new perspective on the war and the men who played out its drama, ranging from George III, Lord North, and Cornwalis to George Washington and Benjamin Franklin. The Price of Folly will be hailed as a significant contribution to our understanding of an event that changed forever the course of human history.

Guilford Courthouse1781 - Lord Cornwallis' Ruinous Victory by Angus Konstam & Adam Hook

By the Spring of 1781, the American Revolutionary War had dragged on for almost six years and the outcome was still uncertain. When the British commander Lord Cornwallis launched his invasion of North Carolina in early 1781, his objective was to destroy the American army. At Guilford Courthouse on 15 March 1781, the two armies met. In a desperately hard fought battle the small British army succeeded in fighting its way through three lines of American troops - but at a dreadful cost.
