The “Ten Crucial Days” winter campaign of 1776–77 is one of the most storied in the annals of military history. David Price examines this pivotal moment in the American War of Independence through an interpretive framework that focuses on five key factors: leadership, geography, weather, artillery, and contingency. His narrative differs from earlier works on the subject that are largely a chronological account of this period.

 

David Price is the author of “The Road to Assunpink Creek,” “Rescuing the Revolution,” and “The Battle of Harlem Heights, 1776.” He holds degrees in political science from Drew University and Rutgers University.
