he took advantage of his year-long interval before the march 2 yorktown. "from january 15 1781 until may 25 when i arrived in lebanon, connecticut, i wasn't a single week in one place. i crossed new england, the continent, new york, the jerseys, pennsylvania, maryland, and virginia." he rejoined the army at the end of june. at the moment, it was not clear where the army was headed. he says "the entire army was ignorant of the mission. some said we were going to cross the north river, reaching the jerseys and then south to capture staten island." as the army passed through new jersey, it became clear the goal is yorktown. he described the route where they traveled by sea to annapolis after pennsylvania. in his journal, the other general kept a record of the trip across the atlantic from france to america and documented the arrival at newport and subsequent march the yorktown. the journal does not mention the siege at yorktown, the picks up again as the french troops march northward in 1782. his style is more technical. he records the weather during a crossi

in the third was yorktown, because yorktown was the battle that defined the triumph of the colonies. however, the battle of yorktown is not fought by french people like it is mostly believed. at the time, a spanish general was in charge of all troops of the caribbean, french and spanish. and a strategy is agreed upon between the general and the french admiral and also with a minister that was sent from spain to coordinate the french and the spanish. the general -- the strategy that the general decides upon is he will protect the french in the caribbean with his spanish fleet. he is sending with their fleet of two yorktown up to the chesapeake bay to block the entrance to the bay so the british cannot assist their troops that are there. at that time, george washington had a tremendous number of french soldiers fighting with him, but they were in terrible shape. they had no food. you've probably seen documentaries where people were eating grass and flees. it is true. -- and fleas. it is true. the general decides he's going to go up and protect the french provisions in the caribbean. of

they go in -- the men in the first chapter, the chapter about yorktown go into the yorktown with bayonets and the marines went into fallujah with six bayonets. the marines go in and very quickly it is a brutal fight. and the cashualties are mounting in fallujah. and so the word comes down from washington to pull out even with the marines close to competing their mission. that means they have to go back six months later and finish the job. this is the intersection between military affairs and political affairs because this was all being carried out as the presidential race was going in 2004. you can never celebrate political history from military history. >> host: the idea that the reasons americans went to war have been suspect or misleading statements made. there are great examples of that. the explosion that setup the spanish war. you talk about the wonder full book call the war lovers and how people were sent in even if they didn't want to go. >> and many did not. >> host: when i read the book i couldn't stop thinking about the invasion of iraq and other instances where there is an int

he's there in yorktown that night. he's fixed his bayonet. he was the son of henry lawrence, the president of congress. and henry lawrence had made his fortune trading slaves, shipping slaves to america, as many as 8,000 is the estimate i've read. lawr lawrence was sent to england and europe as a young man to be educated, not completely caught up with the ideals of enlightenment and came back a complete abolitionist rights to his father i don't want to slaves. i think we should -- he has actually given the privilege and the assignment by congress to go down to south carolina of all places which is where he's from to recruit and offer 3000 mensa. it's slaves. the legislature of south carolina politely but not so politely said no thanks to that idea. but this is part of the story and washington as i said realized the conflict. he writes in 1776 there is no man who wants more than i to see a plan adopted for the abolition of slavery. while he says that he doesn't really do too much to bring it about and i think yes presentism is a real thing tha

they go in as the men in the first chapter, the chapter about yorktown, go into yorktown with cold steel or fixed bayonets. the marines in 2004 go into fallujah with fixed bayonets. that's one thing about war that hasn't changed, and i think it's a kind of neat irony of sorts. but the marines go in, and very quickly it's a brutal fight. and the casualties, especially civilian casualties, are mounting in fallujah. and so the word comes down from washington to pull out even though the marines are very close to completing their mission. what that means is that they have to go back in about six months later and finish the job. so this is the intersection, of course, between military affairs and political affairs, because this was all being carried out as the presidential race was going on in 2004. and so we can never separate military history from political history, and that's certainly also one of the lessons of this chapter of the book. >> well, it's also one of the threads of your book, the idea that sometimes the reasons that americans have gone to war have been suspect, or there have be
