The renowned poet, classicist, and novelist Robert Graves recounts, in faithful and nicely atmospheric detail the story of a British soldier during the American Revolution (The Philadelphia Inquirer).

Featuring a new introduction by Madison Smartt Bell.

A historical novel of the early years of the American Revolution based on the adventures of Sergeant Roger Lamb, a Dublin man, in the service of His Majesty's Army. It begins with Lamb's early days in Dublin and ends with his arrival in Boston as a member of the regiment taken prisoner after Burgoyne's surrender at Saratoga.

The first in a two-book series, Sergeant Lamb's America is based on historical research, describing events and figures from the British perspective during the American War of Independence. Sergeant Lamb is engaging, personable, and exudes basic decency of character as he recounts the British defeat and the capture of his unit at the Battle of Saratoga in a voice that's both funny, insightful, and wise.

It is a historical novel for which one has a very real respect. --The New York Times
