In the summer of 1778, the Revolution puts one of its own on trial. In Brunswick, New Jersey, the Continental Army turns from musket fire to judgement. Judgement falls in real time. Proceedings Of A General Court-Martial Held At Brunswick preserves the court-martial proceedings ordered by His Excellency Gen. Washington, capturing a revolutionary war command dispute at the highest level. Presented as a complete trial transcript, these military legal documents follow charges, testimony, argument, and decision with the stark clarity only the record can deliver. You hear procedure, strategy, and self-defence; the pulse of early American military justice before it hardens into legend on the page. For readers of academic American history, it is a primary source edition that shows how authority was asserted, reputations were made and broken, and continental army discipline was enforced in the field. At the centre is the Charles Lee court-martial, a case that illuminates the tensions of command, personality, and politics in the George Washington era documents that shaped a nation. Read it as narrative courtroom drama, or as evidence: New Jersey 1778 in the language of law, with the Continental Army in New Jersey speaking for itself. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Essential within any revolutionary war records collection, it also belongs on the shelf of classic-history collectors who value the hard edge of the authentic record.
