Description
Mutiny has always posed a great threat to the integrity of armies. It was particularly rife in the Colonial Armies during the American Revolution, not because the soldiers lacked the resolve to overturn British rule or had a lack of faith in their commanders, but because of the scarcity of food, money, clothing, and proper shelter the rank and file had to endure."Rebellion in the Ranks", by using previously ignored primary documents and re-examining others, provides a fresh perspective on how George Washington and his officers managed to keep the ever-present threat of mutiny under control, maintain troop morale, and go on to win American independence.
