Braddock’s Defeat: The Battle of the Monongahela and the Road to Revolution

byDavid Preston

David Preston uses Braddock’s Defeat to investigate the Battle of the Monongahela and the Road to Revolution through a carefully framed historical account. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the wider field of history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
