Decision at the Chesapeake by Harold A. Larrabee 1964 1st Edition

Published in 1964 and currently out of print, this volume takes the subject of the Southern campaign of the American Revolution in three sections: the background of the key leaders, the Southern campaign itself, and the hugely overlooked naval engagement off of Cape Henry, Virginia, called the Battle of the Capes or the Battle of the Chesapeake. It was this key naval event that led to the eventual surrender of a major British Army under the command of Lord Cornwallis in Yorktown; the largest British military defeat in that war.
