The early days of 1781 cast a cold shadow over the downtrodden American Continental army. Mutiny the recent disastroud losses in South Carolina at Camden and Charleston and Benedict Arnold's betrayal called General George Washington's leadership into question. Faced with the possibility of either a crushing defeat or a brilliant victory Washington's loyalty to the fledgling United States compelled him to make a bold offensive stroke in the late summer of 1781. In less than a month he marched the combined American and French armies to Yroktown Virginia - nearly 450 miles south of their encampment at New York - to face the might of the British army. Through a riveting mixture of fact and dialogue noted author Donald T. Phillips chronicles the remarkable events of the Siege of Yorktown. From dramatic artillery assaults to the celebrated American and French attacks and finally to the incredible British surrender ON THE WING OF SPEED delivers a thrilling tale of courage strength and devotion.
