Winner of the 2011 New York Society of Colonial Wars Distinguished Book Award “The strength of this book lies in Crocker’s presentation of the battle and the complicated logistics involved.â€â€”Times Literary Supplement “Braddock’s March is arguably the first truly comprehensive history devoted exclusively to the calamitous march that remade North America. . . . Braddock’s story is superb history.â€â€”Weekly Standard “Drawing on original sources; Crocker grittily reconstructs the advance of Edward Braddock’s army on Fort Duquesne. . . . Attentive to detail; Crocker will engage colonial-history readers in this well illustrated book.â€â€”Booklist“Both Braddock’s epic march and subsequent destruction are brought to life by Thomas E. Crocker in Braddock’s March; his impeccably researched account of an important but largely forgotten chapter in American history. . . . It all adds up to a stirring tale.â€â€”Washington Times
