Description

Explore a different perspective on the American Revolutionary War with Captives of Liberty. This historical study challenges the idea that the war was a restrained struggle for political self-determination. Instead, it examines how British authorities viewed American foes as traitors deserving of punishment, leading to widespread abuse of prisoners. This book provides a detailed look at the politics of vengeance that shaped the conflict. It covers the experiences of more than seventeen thousand British and allied soldiers who fell into American hands. For a new nation with limited resources, the challenge of managing such a large number of prisoners of war was a significant burden. Published by the University of Pennsylvania Press as part of the Early American Studies series, this work offers deep insights into the realities of warfare and prisoner management during one of America's most defining eras. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of Great Britain and the American Revolution.
