Editorial Reviews: Product Description To mark the 450th book in the Men-at-Arms series we return to the subject of the very first book in the series, which was published nearly 35 years ago. Author of 27 other Men-at-Arms titles Ren¿ Chartrand uses newly discovered material to offer a more modern analysis of the American Provincial Corps in this book, American Loyalist Troops. Packed with new photographs, completely new and up-to-date text and illustrations from Gerry Embleton (the much-loved illustrator of over 60 Osprey titles) this book examines the history of the American volunteers who fought on the side of King George in the American Revolutionary War. In total something between 30,000 and 50,000 of these "Tories" served in dozens of units, on all fronts from Canada to Florida, and many regiments distinguished themselves in battle. After the final British defeat the survivors and their families withdrew, many into Canada, where they continued to provide a loyal militia to defend the Crown territory. This book will provide updated and comprehensive information on unit identities, commanders, strengths, areas of enlistment, combat record, tactics, uniforms and equipment.

Customer Reviews: The Tories get the Due February 1, 2009 Col McFetridge (Houston, Texas, USA) 7 out of 8 found this review helpful This is a long overdue treatment of the Loyalist forces in the American Revolution. Very little has been written about this major segment of the Colonial population and their military contribution to the British war effort. With the exception of Lefferts work, a century ago, there has been almost no work on the military uniforms and operations of the Loyalists units. This is a valuable contribution to filling the gap.
