This account of the Yorktown campaign of the American Revolution presents six full-colour battle scenes detailing the critical points in the battle. Her strategy had been to isolate General Washington's army in the middle states between Canada and the South, which she hoped to secure with aid of the Royal Navy. By 1781 Britain's struggle to contain rebels in her American colonies had reached an inglorious stalemate.
Yorktown would be a model example to the British Crown of the impossible odds she now faced in holding onto her colonies. However, after defeat at Saratoga and with the northern army holed up in New York, King George's forces now saw this plan backfire.
