Southern Gambit

Cornwallis and the British March to Yorktown

By: Stanley D. M. Carpenter

In a world rife with conflict and tension, how does a great power prosecute an irregular war at a great distance within the context of a regional struggle, all within a global competitive environment? The question, so pertinent today, was confronted by the British nearly 250 years ago during the American War for Independence. And the answer, as this book makes plain, is: not the way the British, under Lieutenant General Charles, Earl Cornwallis, went about it in the American South in the years 1778–81. Southern Gambit presents a closely observed, comprehensive account of this failed strategy. Approaching the campaign from the British perspective, this book restores a critical but little-studied chapter to the narrative of the Revolutionary War—and in doing so, it adds detail and depth to our picture of Cornwallis, an outsize figure in the history of the British Empire. Distinguished scholar of military strategy Stanley D. M. Carpenter outlines the British strategic and operational objectives, devoting particular attention to the strategy of employing Southern Loyalists to help defeat Patriot forces, reestablish royal authority, and tamp down resurgent Patriot activity. Focusing on Cornwallis’s operations in the Carolinas and Virginia leading to the surrender at Yorktown in October 1781, Carpenter reveals the flaws in this approach, most notably a fatal misunderstanding of the nature of the war in the South and of the Loyalists’ support. Compounding this was the strategic incoherence of seeking a conventional war against a brilliant, unconventional opponent, and doing so amidst a breakdown in the unity of command. Ultimately, strategic incoherence, ineffective command and control, and a misreading of the situation contributed to the series of cascading failures of the British effort. Carpenter’s analysis of how and why this happened expands our understanding of British decision-making and operations in the Southern Campaign and their fateful consequences in the War for Independence.

The War of American Independence, 1763-1783

Falling Dominoes

By: Stanley D. M. Carpenter,Kevin J. Delamer,James R. McIntyre,Andrew T. Zwilling

The War of American Independence, 1763–1783: Falling Dominoes addresses the military, maritime and naval, economic, key personalities, key societal groups, political, imperial rivalry, and diplomatic dynamics and events from the post-Seven Years’ War era in Great Britain’s North American colonies through the end of the War of American Independence. Beginning in 1763 and moving through the war chronologically, the authors argue that British political and strategic leaders failed to develop an effective strategy to quell the discontent and subsequent revolt in the North American colonies and thus failed to restore allegiance to the Crown. This book describes and analyzes events and the outcomes of central players’ decisions—the British North American colonies, Great Britain, France, Spain, and the Dutch Republic—and the resultant actions. It examines events through the thematic lens of strategy, political and military leadership, public attitudes, economics, international rivalries and relations, and the role of traditionally less-considered groups: women, slaves, and Native American peoples. This book is an enlightening and essential read for all history students, from high school through to those on postgraduate courses, as well as those with an interest in the American Revolution.

Admiral James Stavridis

Sailor, Scholar, Leader

By: Stanley D M Carpenter

The biography of Admiral James George Stavridis provides a look at the naval admiral, leader and commentator. From his accomplishments in the U.S. Navy and on to his time as Supreme Allied Commander, Europe for NATO, Stanley Carpenter presents the most detailed picture yet of the familiar Admiral James Stavridis. Continuing on to Stavridis’s post-Navy career, this book reveals the man who, in and out of uniform, has exemplified an ideal of service —both in command and as a retired expert on world affairs. The child of Greek immigrants, the story of James Stavridis takes on the hallmarks of a resolutely American success story. Within the story of his youth and education is a resounding reminder of the importance of service. From the U.S. Naval Academy and on to NATO, Admiral Stavridis’ time in uniform provided both an example of duty to country, but also the story of a rise from sailor to leader. As leader, Admiral Stavridis stressed the value of education, and placed a premium on understanding the literature of the profession of arms. His numerous books after his time in uniform attest to the Admiral’s unique focus, one which he continues to champion. Admiral James Stavridis: Sailor, Scholar, Leader offers a compelling portrait of a life of duty, lessons for future members of the sea services, and a richly detailed, uniquely American success story. With a look at his career after his U.S. Navy, this author has presented a full picture of the man, not just the sailor or admiral. Those familiar with James Stavridis from his contemporary writings or appearances on TV will find much to enjoy here, as will those in uniform who will find this volume a succinct and forceful presentation of a rise of a leader through the ranks of the military and beyond.
