War on the Run: The Epic Story of Robert Rogers and the Conquest of America's First Frontier
- Used Book in Good Condition
Often hailed as the godfather of todayâ‚¬s elite special forces, Robert Rogers trained and led an unorthodox unit of green provincials, raw woodsmen, farmers, and Indian scouts on â‚¬Å“impossibleâ‚¬Â missions in colonial America that are still the stuff of soldiersâ‚¬ legend. The child of marginalized Scots-Irish immigrants, Rogers learned to survive in New Englandâ‚¬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 Rogersâ‚¬s life and his spectacular battles with breathtaking immediacy and meticulous accuracy, but brings a new and provocative perspective on Rogersâ‚¬s unique vision of a unified continent, one that would influence Thomas Jefferson and inspire the Lewis and Clark expedition. Rogersâ‚¬s principles of unconventional war-making would lay the groundwork for the colonial strategy later used in the War of Independenceâ‚¬"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 moreâ‚¬"like America itself.
