The riveting untold story of the fight for the Hudson River Valley, the decisive campaign of the Revolutionary War.

Military leaders of the timeand generations of scholars sincebelieved that the Hudson River Valley was America's geographic jugular, which, if cut, would quickly bleed the rebellion to death.
