Victory or Death: A Wargamer's Guide to the American Revolution, 1775-1782

There are a number of good authors who write about the American Revolution. One of my favorite is David Bonk. I have a number of his books ("Men who are determined to be free", "Trenton and Princeton" and "Continental vs Red Coat"). All are well written and show great research which sets them apart from too much that is published today. So it was with a little surprise (I had not heard of this yet) and a great delight that I saw this at On Military Matters and quickly scooped it up. If you are gaming the period, interested in the period or just need to be inspired please do yourself a favour and check out this book.

For the rest of the review please follow this to my blog

Thank you. I do have to wonder if there is much new there for gamers who already have an AWI section in their personal library.

I would say yes. I have worked as a historian at Rev War sites for the NPS for thirty years; and a life long student of the war. While I have various books which cover most portions if this guide here is a INE book handy source for most things Rev War. I don't have to go through two or three books to get the information. His strategic over view is excellent and his terrain guide very useful.
