The Men Who Lost America
In this book, Andrew O'Shaughnessy challenges the narrative of British incompetence by profiling ten key political and military leaders, arguing they were defeated by impossible geographic and logistical challenges rather than personal failure. The work recontextualizes the American Revolution as a global conflict that ultimately overwhelmed the resources of the British Empire.
