The Road to Yorktown: The French Campaigns in the American Revolution, 1780-1783, by Louis-Francois-Bertrand du Pont d'Aubevoye, comte de Lauberdiere. The fate of the American Revolution had yet to be decided when a remarkable 21-year-old Frenchman arrived in America. Louis-Francois-Bertrand, the Count of Lauberdiere, belonged to an old noble family that traced its heritage back to the Crusades. Moreover, he served as aide-de-camp to his uncle – General Rochambeau, the commander of all French forces in America. This is a translated edition of young Louis-Francois-Bertrand's diary that covers 1780-1783. He interacted with some of the Revolution's most important personalities (including George Washington and Lafayette), and was in the epicenter of many of the war's momentous events. His journal covers a host of topics in remarkable detail, including descriptions of the French army's camp in Newport, Rhode Island, the long march to Yorktown, the siege and capture, and a fascinating examination of the people and their distinctive colonial culture. Includes one chart and eight maps. $33.00 USD

German Mountain Troops: 1942-45.
