Bud Hannings is an expert in the field of American military history who draws upon his many years of experience, expertise, and research for "American Revolutionary War Leaders: A Biographical Dictionary", a 558-page compendium of informed and informative descriptions of the men who were essential in the fledgling nation's struggle for emancipation from England and who faced overwhelming military opposition in doing so. Covering not only the more famous and well known figures, "American Revolutionary War Leaders" provides succinct bibliographic profiles of ordinary but critically important soldiers, plantation owners, farmers, politicians, espionage agents. Figures are drown from the ranks of the Navy and Marines, the Continental Army, state militias, diplomats, governors, and others. Of special note are the biographical sketches of the women who made significant contributions to the war. Comprehensive and definitive, "American Revolutionary War Leaders" is an impressive body of scholarship and a seminal contribution that will prove to be a core acquisition for professional, academic, and community library American History reference collections in general, and American Revolutionary War supplemental reading lists in particular. Also highly recommended for American Military History collections are three of Bud Hannings previous works published by McFarland & Company: "Chronology of the American Revolution" (9780786429486, $125.00), "The Korean War: An Exhaustive Chronology" (9780786428144, $245.00), and "Forts of the United States: An Historical Dictionary, 16th Through 19th Centuries" (9780786417964, $125.00).
