A Battlefield Atlas of the American Revolution

“Symonds does a masterful job of providing readers with background information on each campaign and an overall narrative that orients them to Clipson’s maps. The result is a highly readable, well-illustrated volume that covers wars major theaters in a comprehensive, if high-level, manner in just over 100 pages. I recommend that anyone interested in the American Revolution obtain a copy and keep it handy whenever reading about a campaign from that war.”–Ben Powers “ARGunners Magazine”
”‘A Battlefield Atlas of the American Revolution’ will prove to be an ideal and unreservedly useful classroom text, battlefield tour guide, or library reference.“– “Midwest Book Review, Volume 13, Number 11, Nov 2018”
“Coverage is impressively comprehensive, as Symonds includes not only the more famous campaigns and battles, but many smaller events, such as the Battle of Paulus Hook, although he oddly omits operations on the Gulf Coast between the British and Spanish. Nevertheless, this remains a valuable work, particularly so for anyone in need of an introduction to the Revolutionary War.”– “The NYMAS Review”
A battlefield Atlas of the American Revolution also serves as an effective overview of the entire war. While each map and essay can stand alone to describe a battle, Symonds writes a flowing narrative that can be read like a traditional book, cover to cover.–Lieutenant Colonel John C. Lemay, USA-Ret “On Point: The Journal of Army History, Volume 25 Issue 1”
