The American Revolutionary War saw the emergence of irregular warfare specialists on both sides, equipped with rifles and fighting in rugged terrain. The Continental Army incorporated rifle-armed companies, while Patriot militiamen and partisans also used rifled weapons. The British Army's light infantrymen, Loyalist units, and German hired troops were among the most experienced regular soldiers fighting for the Crown. This book assesses the strengths and limitations of both sides' open-order specialists, with particular focus on three revealing battles: Harlem Heights, Freeman's Farm, and Hanging Rock. Specially commissioned artwork, archive illustrations, and newly drawn mapping complement the authoritative text.
