Product Details

Praise

“Mr. Crawford’s account is incisively and carefully written, splendidly paced, and supported by a mine of primary and secondary sources. This Fierce People is military history in an older tradition, in which the outcomes of great conflicts depend on the foresight, character and courage of individual men. Yet Mr. Crawford, a journalist and historian based in Richmond, Va., doesn’t ignore the role of slavery in the ferocity of southern resistance. . . . Rivetingly related.” —Barton Swaim, The Wall Street Journal

“Crawford brings his cast of characters, ranging from ‘Swamp Fox’ Francis Marion to the alternately cavorting and cruel British officer Banastre Tarleton, to life with a beguiling blend of erudition, wit, insight and sympathy.” —Bill Kauffman, The Spectator World

“Crawford provides a vivid, page-turning account . . . rich in memorable characters and dramatic scenes.” —Dan McLaughlin, National Review


“Elegant . . . Incisive . . . Crawford’s objective discussion of the South’s role in the Revolutionary War makes for compelling reading.” —Andy Brack, Charleston City Paper

“A valuable addition to Revolutionary War history that adds useful detail and perspective.” —Mark Knoblauch, Booklist
