PRAISE FOR THOMAS J. McGUIRE

Stop the Revolution

“Too many books on the American Revolution are stale efforts that rehash familiar stories. Thomas J. McGuire sets a higher standard by digging deep in rare and often unpublished sources from both sides of the Atlantic. Five years after McGuire treated us to the definitive history of the 1777 Philadelphia Campaign, he takes us back to the summer of 1776 when Great Britain brandished both the olive branch and the sword to regain control of its rebellious colonies. With a fascinating cast of characters living out a richly woven storyline, Stop the Revolution is both eye-opening and entertaining. McGuire has done it again, and no one does it better.”

--Gregory J. W. Urwin, author of The United States Infantry: An Illustrated History, 1775-1918

The Philadelphia Campaign

“The Philadelphia Campaign is first-rate, an absorbing work of tenacious research and close scholarship. Thomas J. McGuire knows the time of the American Revolution and has been over the ground in and about Philadelphia in a way few writers ever have. But it is his empathy for the human reality of war and the great variety of people caught up in it, whether in the service of the king or the Glorious Cause of America, that makes this book especially alive and memorable.”

--David McCullough, author of 1776 and John Adams
