This Fierce People

Alan Pell Crawford's This Fierce People is a groundbreaking exploration of the often-overlooked southern campaign of America's Revolutionary War, positing that the British surrender at Yorktown was a direct outcome of battles fought in the South. This riveting audiobook delves into the critical years between Monmouth and Yorktown, highlighting the fierce conflicts that formed a significant part of the war's conclusion, while challenging the traditional narrative that credits primarily Northern battles for America’s independence. Through compelling accounts of unsung heroes—ranging from African Americans to militiamen and foreign allies—Crawford uncovers the complexities and contradictions of the nation's revolutionary history.
