  • John Burgoyne: Gentleman and General

    Richard O'Connor

    Hardcover (McGraw-Hill, March 15, 1969)
    "John Burgoyne, Gentleman and General" is one book in the Saratoga Cluster. Each book in this group of four is completely independent; but the four books offer an unusual and absorbing view of the battle which was the turning point in the American Revolution and the lives of the men influenced by that battle. John Burgoyne was an Englishman with many ideas - ideas for stage plays, ideas for Parliament, and an idea for defeating the rebel Americans. But Burgoyne's good planning fell apart in the woods of New York and Vermont largely because he could not control other men's aspirations and actions.
