Reviews for The Southern Strategy: Britain's Conquest of South Carolina and Georgia, 1775-1780
Wilson's survey of operations is grounded in an impressive mass of data, which allows him not only to question the fine detail of previous accounts but also to challenge broader interpretations of the war itself.... His book displays deep local knowledge, a strength apparent in his own excellent maps. - Journal of Southern History
