At Yorktown in 1781, a battered but unbroken coalition surrounded a British army and forced a global empire to its knees. Yorktown decided a continent's fate. In The Yorktown Campaign and the Surrender of Cornwallis 1781, noted historian Henry P. Johnston pieces together the final, decisive campaign of the American Revolution from contemporary accounts and official records, crafting a clear, gripping narrative of strategy, hardship and resolve. Moving from the chaos of Virginia 1781 battlefield history to the closing scene of the Cornwallis surrender at Yorktown, he traces how French American forces at Yorktown coordinated land and sea power to trap their opponent and bring eight years of conflict towards an end. As a pioneering revolutionary war campaign study, Johnston's work stands as a recognised classic in American Revolution military history, valued both as a nonfiction battle history book and as a meticulous American history reference book. His balanced attention to grand strategy and on-the-ground detail offers what many regard as a complete Yorktown campaign history, situating the siege of Yorktown history within the wider context of late Revolutionary War campaigns. Ideal for Revolutionary War students, enthusiasts of Virginia 1781 battlefield history, and readers of David McCullough seeking deeper context, it speaks equally to casual history fans and serious collectors. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today, a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
