This new volume in the Essential Bibliography Series examines the changing nature of Napoleonic historiography and provides the student and scholar an invaluable guide to those changes.

Forgotten BattlesBy CustomerTo the extent that the American Revolution in the South is remembered it is the brilliant campaign waged by Nathanael Greene that comes to mind. But there was another war being fought; a civil war fought literally between between neighbors. It is this war that Mr. Scoggins brings to life in his scholarly account of some the largely forgotten actions of the civil war. The war was notable for its brutality and the frequently incompetent leadership of experienced but ill trained officers. This excellent study provides a fine introduction to the civil war in the South.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. History set straight!By William H lacey IIIThe book was well written with the facts and information contained therein having been judiciously researched. I believe Mr. Scoggins was successful in clarifying any number of critical points which have been debated by scholars and history buffs alike for decades. In addition; he proved/confirmed that the Revolutionary War was won in SC by the Partisan men and women from the New Acquisition lands and the frontiers of SC and the neighboring statesPast authors have done us a great disservice by naming only the smallest number of the brave and hearty individuals from SC and the region that made the United States a reality.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Interesting history.By Doug FordThe book brings to light history that most just don't know. That is; how many Tories there really were in South Carolina; how the opposing forces simply went home after an engagement; how much the civilians of South Carolina really suffered. It puts a new perspective on the local conflict during the Revolution. With the exception of the regular army forces on both sides; the war; in a larger context; just didn't seem to matter. This was a local war. The book is very informative but doesn't flow well from one event to the other.
