If one perhaps wishes a worthy read from a British perspective, might I suggest (Redcoats and Rebels). Delays with provisions, manpower etc, an ocean apart. In order to put rest to those men of the woods whom lacked discipline, was a costly and foolhardy affair, to draw from regiments where the British Empire was scattered around the world to one continent would not have been wise, the island required revenue and trade to its shores from all theatres. With the French intervention of troops extra ships etc stoppage to British supplies overseas was indeed a pesky buisness, but a most thunderous blow, not so directly placed to line volleys, but to the supplies, resulting in malnutrition, illness, disease, of some of the men whom suffered in that long voyage in nasty conditions to disembark, march, then find a lack of provisions to maintain, survive, sapping ones morale, not forgeting the constant manpower seeping in from the patriots err.. rebels Sirs I ask myself if the British pulled from other regions of the globe would the outcome have been diffrent? Well we will never know.
