Summary: Excellent reference tool
Comment: While the title might sound like a late night movie, it is a statement from the famous Quaker General, Nathaniel Green, describing the fighting in the Southern Campaign. This is not a book that you take home for a good read, but a well-documented reference you keep as a handy tool. If you had ancestors that participated in the battles in Georgia or South Carolina you will find this a useful book. The author has started with the Battle of Alamance, North Carolina, that actually preceded the Revolutionary War in 1771 and ends with the failed attempt by the Patriots and French to retake Savannah, GA, in 1779. Considered the first volume of three Mr. O'Kelley plans to write, every skirmish, sea battle and engagement that is known is included with an order of battle format. This book lists the units that participated, key leaders, casualties and overview of the engagements. This is an excellent tool for compatriots who are doing history programs for local schools.

Summary: The best I have ever read
Comment: I bought this book since I was interested in the Revolutionary War in the South. I know of the War Between the States, but I wanted to know more about what came before. Not many books have much in them about the Southern campaign. They only mention Yorktown, or Cowpens. However this book contains everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, about the war in the South. It is not just North and South Carolina, but Georgia too. It is incredibly detailed and it seems that most of the sources are from primary account. This is a huge project that Patrick O'Kelley has tried to put on paper. There will be more volumes, and I can't wait until the next. The book is easy to read and explains what happened in a way that makes the story flow smoothly. I highly recommend it!
