Title: Diary of the American War
Review: This hard to find out of print book provides an excellent view of the American war for Independence from the viewpoint of an ally of the British army. Ewald was an officer leading a group of Hessian riflemen (sharpshooters). It was never intended to be published, but was meant as a history of Ewald's experiences during that war for his family.It is an intelligent and thoughtful review with many very interesting observations and anecdotes.His account of the siege of Charleston SC is especially detailed and provides a fascinating view of the British assault.I highly recommend the book. It's a shame it's no longer in print.
