Historians have long considered the Challenge of Monmouth one of the very most complicated engagements of the North american Revolution. Fought on Sunday, June 28, 1778, Monmouth was critical to the success of the Revolution. It also designated a decisive turning point in the military career of George Washington. With no win at Monmouth Courthouse, Washington's critics might well have marshaled the political strength to displace him as the North american commander-in-chief. Authors Make Edward Lender and Garry Wheeler Rock dispute that in political terms, the Challenge of Monmouth constituted a pivotal second in the Conflict for Independence. Pulling on a wide range of historical sources-many never before used, including archaeological evidence-Lender and Rock disentangle the real story of Monmouth and provide the most satisfactory and accurate profile of the fight, including both North american and Uk perspectives. In the course of their profile it becomes visible that criticism of Washington's performance in control was considerably broader and deeper than previously acknowledged."This is an excellent study, large in scope, complete in content, and insightful in all which it considers... A marvelous publication." (Robert Middlekauff, writer of Washington's Revolution: The Making of America's First Head)"An extensively researched and well-written study that provides a new and fascinating perspective on the importance of the Challenge of Monmouth." (The Journal of Armed service History)"That is a landmark study of a fight too often forgotten... Lender and Rock have set the typical." (Ricardo A. Herrera, writer of For Liberty and the Republic)
