This is the definitive study of these two key battles of the American Revolution available for the first time in one volume. Often cited as the turning point in the American Revolution, the battles of Trenton and Princeton were foremost the first victories by George Washington's demoralized troops against the Hessians and the British, respectively. Highlighted by Washington's incredibly effective surprise crossing of the Delaware River, these victories re-energized American forces and gave them hope that they could defeat a much more experienced army and win independence. Long recognized by specialists as the definitive studies of these two fascinating key battles, and originally published in the 1960s in separate volumes, they are presented here together in a superb facsimile edition - including updated maps which show modern roadways overlaying the eighteenth-century maps.
