A detailed study of the turning point in one of the most important battles in American history The Battle of Brandywine, fought on September 11, 1777, along its namesake creek in the bucolic Pennsylvania countryside, was one of the largest engagements of the Revolutionary War. To those who participated in this massive battle, spread out over ten square miles and lasting from late afternoon until dark, it was unforgettable. Soon after the action, Major Joseph Bloomfield of the 3rd New Jersey recorded that it was "the grandest scene I ever saw, a sight beyond description." Brandywine was the first major battle for the recently reorganized Continental Army. Units had fought in small engagements, but not until Brandywine did the army fight as a whole against the British. As the two armies clashed, a ferocious and desperate action developed on a hill at the heart of the battlefield, and it was here where the battle's outcome was determined. Despite its size and significance--Brandywine was the third bloodiest engagement of the war, with 1,300 American and 581 British casualties--the battle has been the subject of very few studies. In Decision at Brandywine: The Battle on Birmingham Hill, historian Robert M. Dunkerly analyzes the fighting near the Birmingham Meeting House where the battle turned. By dissecting the struggle on Birmingham Hill in detail, he offers a case study in weapons, tactics, and terrain analysis critical to a holistic understanding of the entire battle and what it would mean for the future of the Continental Army. In the process he not only explains how the Continental Army's lack of uniformed training and inexperience in large open-field battles played a major role in their defeat, but also provides important information about Revolutionary War combat in general.

The award–winning author of Brandywine examines a pivotal but overlooked battle of the American Revolution’s Philadelphia Campaign. Today, Germantown is a busy Philadelphia neighborhood. On October 4, 1777, it was a small village on the outskirts of the colonial capital—and the site of one of the American Revolution’s largest battles. Now Michael C. Harris sheds new light on this important action with a captivating historical study. After defeating Washington’s rebel army in the Battle of Brandywine, General Sir William Howe took Philadelphia. But Washington soon returned, launching a surprise attack on the British garrison at Germantown. The recapture of the colonial capital seemed within Washington’s grasp until poor decisions by the American high command led to a clear British victory. With original archival research and a deep knowledge of the terrain, Harris merges the strategic, political, and tactical history of this complex operation into a single compelling account. Complete with original maps, illustrations, and modern photos, and told largely through the words of those who fought there, Germantown is a major contribution to American Revolutionary studies.

Historian Thomas J. McGuire calls the Battle of Brandywine, on Sept. 11th, 1777, a turning point in the American Revolution and a case study in "strategy, generalship, and lost opportunities." The dawn-to-dusk battle saw several military milestones, but the only "first" that has never been fully documented is the story of how the Battle of Brandywine became the best historic example of the ebb and flow of battlefield preservation.This illustrated book is the first to tell the story of how generations of individuals - former soldiers, historians, county commissioners, and even Congressmen - worked to commemorate the battle and later to protect a 10-square-mile area ¬¬- centered in Birmingham and Pennsbury Townships - that officially became the Brandywine Battlefield National Historic Landmark (NHL) on January 20, 1961. Today the American Battlefield Protection Act, passed by Congress in 1996 has helped the Brandywine Battlefield Task Force to oversee the protection of what is now a 35,000 acre- battlefield landscape. The expanded protection is rooted in the idea that only open and intact land can reveal the military decisions that were made on that dark day in 1777.
