The untold story of the fight for the Hudson River Valley, control of which, both the Americans and British firmly believed, would determine the outcome of the Revolutionary War.


"George C. Daughan --- winner of the prestigious Samuel Eliot Morison Award for Naval Literature --- integrates the war's naval elements with its political, military, economic, and social dimensions to create a major new study of the American Revolution.

Norton & Company

"Daughan deftly highlights how naval power shaped even war on land......"
