Omschrijving

A crisp, morally charged inquiry into soldiers, allegiance, and empire. A Defence Of The Hessians speaks with the measured voice of a keen historian, inviting readers to weigh the ethics of mercenary warfare and the politics that bind armies to nations. Rosengarten's historical essay-frequency guides us through the eighteenth century in a steady, intimate key: the hush of colonial era politics on the East Coast, the measure and mismeasure of German mercenaries in America, and the broader currents of military history that shaped a young continent. It is more than a political treatise; it is a careful map of motive, power, and consequence for researchers and students, classroom reading resource included in spirit if not in form. It speaks to both the curious reader of letters and the scholar of strategy, offering a humane lens on a tumultuous chapter of colonial America and late European affairs. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This is a work that resonates with casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike, a compact piece of historical memory that sits within any serious military history collection, and which quietly rewards repeat reading as a window into German mercenaries in America and the ethics that governed them.
