From the rear cover
"This new edition of a landmark study incorporates the latest scholarship on the Revolutionary War, and presents the conflict in a unified and accessible manner. It is vital to any comprehensive understanding of America's definitive conflict."
Edward G. Lengel, Professor and Director, Papers of George Washington, University of Virginia
" 'A Respectable Army' is an insightful, well-written account of the enduring legacy of America's war of independence. The authors have done a wonderful job turning their research into an immensely readable narrative."
Terry Golway, Director, Kean University Center for History, Politics, and Policy
"There can be no finer introduction to the military history of the American Revolution and the character of the Continental Army than this classic study."
David L. Preston, Professor of History, The Citadel
Now available in a revised and updated third edition, "A Respectable Army" challenges the iconic mythology of the embattled freehold farmer as the quintessential warrior of the Revolution by presenting the fascinating history of the real Continental army and its role in the formation of the new republic.
Through revising this now-classic text, Martin and Lender have compiled the most up-to-date synthesis of historical literature on the period. The third edition also includes maps, illustrations, and a Note on Revolutionary War History and Historiography, a jumping-off point for further research.
"A Respectable Army" will be essential reading for students enrolled in the first half of a survey of U.S. History or specialized courses in the American Revolution or U.S. Colonial or Military History, as well as anyone interested in better understanding the true convictions and motivations of the men and women who composed Washington's Continental Army.
