Críticas:
"A lively, evocative and at times moving biography . . . Ross [brings] this extraordinary man back to life."--The Wall Street Journal "Nothing less than a tour de force that will appeal to a wide range of readers . . . This remarkable book should go far to rescue a once-famous figure in American history."--Winston-Salem Journal "In this exhaustive book, variously scholarly and white-knuckle exciting, John Ross has done the great man justice."--The Washington Times "Rousing . . . The story of Rogers, as told by Ross, is an American tale."--Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"[A] sweeping account . . . a thrilling narrative."--The Boston Globe
Reseña del editor:
"[A] sweeping account . . . a thrilling narrative."--The Boston Globe
Often hailed as the godfather of today’s elite special forces, Robert Rogers trained and led an unorthodox unit of green provincials, raw woodsmen, farmers, and Indian scouts on “impossible” missions in colonial America that are still the stuff of soldiers’ legend. The child of marginalized Scots-Irish immigrants, Rogers learned to survive in New England’s dark and deadly forests, grasping, as did few others, that a new world required new forms of warfare. John F. Ross not only re-creates Rogers’s life and his spectacular battles with breathtaking immediacy and meticulous accuracy, but brings a new and provocative perspective on Rogers’s unique vision of a unified continent, one that would influence Thomas Jefferson and inspire the Lewis and Clark expedition. Rogers’s principles of unconventional war-making would lay the groundwork for the colonial strategy later used in the War of Independence—and prove so compelling that army rangers still study them today. Robert Rogers, a backwoods founding father, was heroic, admirable, brutal, canny, ambitious, duplicitous, visionary, and much more—like America itself.

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. How did the unschooled son of improvished immigrant farmers forever change the way men fought war? Historian John F. Ross reveals all in this fine military history of Robert Rogers, an American colonial frontiersman who fought in the French and Indian War as well as the American Revolution, and who wrote the first North American war manual still taught to today. "John Ross succeeds with War on the Run, a lively, evocative and at times moving biography" (The Wall Street Journal).Often hailed as the godfather of today's elite special forces, Robert Rogers trained and led an unorthodox unit of green provincials, raw woodsmen, farmers, and Indian scouts on "impossible" missions in colonial America that are still the stuff of soldiers' legend. The child of marginalized Scots-Irish immigrants, Rogers learned to survive in New England's dark and deadly forests, grasping, as did few others, that a new world required new forms of warfare. John F. Ross not only re-creates Rogers's life and his spectacular battles with breathtaking immediacy and meticulous accuracy, but brings a new and provocative perspective on Rogers's unique vision of a unified continent, one that would influence Thomas Jefferson and inspire the Lewis and Clark expedition. Rogers's principles of unconventional war-making would lay the groundwork for the colonial strategy later used in the War of Independence-and prove so compelling that army rangers still study them today. Robert Rogers, a backwoods founding father, was heroic, admirable, brutal, canny, ambitious, duplicitous, visionary, and much more-like America itself.
