Review

"There is no shortage of books on the American Revolution, as readers of Choice know. A recent entry is this compact volume of minibiographies of 15 battlefield leaders who made American independence, including the infamous (Benedict Arnold), the famous (John Paul Jones), the relatively obscure (Daniel Morgan), and the militarily brilliant (Nathanael Greene). Military man Cate (US Military Academy and a quarter century of service in the army) weaves a coherent, skillfully written survey of the Revolution from beginning to end through the service of the 15 men chosen. The book is obviously aimed at novices--and it is a joy to read….Recommended. Public libraries/general collections."

Choice

"Founding Fighters: The Battlefield Leaders who Made American Independence expertly recounts the stories of fifteen of the American Revolution's most important and colorful battlefield commanders…Overall, Cate has provided readers with a superb book that will educate them on the men who were instrumental in America gaining independence. While most are familiar with Washington, reading Founding Fighters will familiarize them the other major players of the war. General readers and scholars should add this book to their list."
