Klappentext
A study of the German auxiliaries who fought with the British against the American colonists.


Zusammenfassung
This study uses German, British and American manuscript sources to put the Hessians in their historical context. The encounter of the American colonists with the Hessian troops from a disciplined paternalistic society organized for war, was the meeting, not merely of two military systems, but of two ways of life.
