"Johann von Ewald was a German military officer from Hesse-Kassel whose military experience spanned the Seven Years War through the Napoleonic Era. After first serving in the Seven Years' War, he was the commander of the Jägercorps of the HessianLeib Infantry Regiment attached to Britishforces in the American Revolutionary War. From the Battle of White Plains until Yorktown, his units fought constantly against the Continental forces. In 1788, he joined the Danish Army, where he rose to the rank of lieutenant general; he also served as governor general of Holsteinduring the Napoleonic Wars. Following his American war experiences, he wrote an Essay on Partisan Warfare (German: Über den kleinen Krieg), a widely read treatise on guerrilla warfare.
