"During the American Revolution (1775-83), German auxiliary soldiers hired by the Crown provided a vital element of the British war effort. The largest body of German troops, from Hessen-Cassel, were clothes and equipped in the style of Frederick the Great's Prussians and had been trained in much the same way. They would participate in every major campaign of the conflict, with the specialized skills of the Jäger being particularly in demand. Fully illustrated throughout, this study examines the organization and appearance of the Hessen-Cassel troops who fought for King George III in the American Revolution."--Back cover
