he decides to move the rest of the army south. so yes, they move through that area but hopefully it plays no role. >> we are getting close to the end of our time. i just want to come back to my thoughts of the counterinsurgency and get your reaction. one is the extensive support of the rubber one - - rebellion a resolution and how often we get that wrong. of course we talk to america or britain to give the exaggerated account and then to tell people in london just before yorktown with the americans to support the british but he always insisted on that. when the situation is fluid people are changing sides and in those modern methods for the opinion poll but we still can't get the accurate representation but it seems to me and those to get a sanctuary to the american ships because the dutch were sending vital supplies. the british army has always been very small the real pride is the navy. the naval museum is much bigger. [laughter] so basically of an army of conquest. about one third of the british army if the british had won the

in the american army but even in the british army then and were ill provisioned and ill-equipped it wasand we're coming through pandemic now and they faced disease in the american army those two died wound up dying of disease not from combat so that was ady risky and difficult and harsh environment that they faced while serving under both the generals and glad it had to serve on either side. >> after beingng on both sides of the war so benedict arlen arnold is he just a guy who wanted a steady paycheck? >> both. that is the one million-dollar question they said you cannot get entirely into arnold's mind to know what was going on. bellamy try to answer it this way he had some legitimate grievances and was passed over for the promotion unfairly and unjustly i think and then when he became the military commander the british evacuated philadelphia many people turned against him w because he was consorting with families that were regarded as the tories you mentioned the daughter of the family suspected of being a tory family and was actually prosecuted for financial speculation so he had som

an army by horatio gates. it was the fourth american army in 20 months that had been destroyed in the southern theater. more than 8000 american troops had been killed, wounded or captured on those four engagements. that is the same month that washington writes that letter i almost ceased to hope. it is the same moment that arthur lee and boston is saying many of the leaders in massachusetts now believe the war is going to end with a negotiated settlement short of independence. they would argue we arnold finally makes his final decision to turncoat he may very well have believed the americans goose was cooked. the british were going to win the war on there trying to get on the winning side. having said all of that is speculative. nobody really knows what was going on and arnold's mind. >> i do like you put them in the context of all of the decision-making for is not an impetuous mood for him to suddenly switch sides. it really could've been anyone in a similar position and terms of rank or opportunity. i did ap

the navy is much bigger than the army. they basically had an army of conquest. about one third of the british army -- did nothing but arison. the british had won the war. had he been maintained by force? >> right and once the french come and now you have two worry about all of your overseas possessions and not just in america but the west indies and you have to worry about homeland defense defending your homeland itself. all of those things now start playing into it that they didn't have to worry about before. i agree with you completely. after saratoga and the worm of south again i really think the americans could have beaten themselves about point. they could have made some boneheaded errors but they did it right enough to win this thing. >> and sending warships and personnel to the caribbean was very unfair to clinton who is expecting to win this with their troops. >> clinton is handed an impossible task. >> saratoga is the turning point and why people need to read your book. thank you very much indeed. i've really enjoyed this discussion. >> thanks andrew. i

, the department of the northern army, he is almost at wits end after ticonderoga falls.e firstst things washington does as commander-in-chief aside from trying to buck him up and improve his morale a little bit, he sends key leaders to help them out. i think the most important key leaders he sums up there are benedict arnold benjamin -- both major generals. both of them are critical for the success at saratoga. benedict arnold because of his fiery aggressive outstanding leadership from the front kind of guy and benjamin lincoln, because of his unique ability to work with a militia, both of those are things that he doesn't have in his subordinates don't have. washington recognizes that and he sends key leaders up there and almost from the ion moment senator gets there, he is everywhere. you see this guy, he's right at the forefront. he's giving schuyler light, he's right in the lead, he's leading on burgoyne's forces. at the head of the column sent to relief and all of that kind of thing. he is the right guy, this dynamic leader and that's what he needed. benjamin lincoln

it's a particular interest because he is ae former army officer with 28 years of service. service included to combat and professorship military theory and strategy of the war college in carlisle pennsylvania. his previous book, lincoln's tragic afro, a life of samuel was awarded to william toby word. he's agreed to do this program in anke interview and conversatn followed by questions from our audience. i'd be grateful if audience members could put questions in the q&a at the bottom of the screen. kevin, thank you for joining us. >> thank you, i really appreciate the dictation and thank you to everybody out there attending. >> i want to begin by asking you to discuss how your military background influenced the writing of the book. >> okay. first of all, it's important -- you don't have to be having military background to have a good military historian. i'd say the greatest military historian hasn't had a military background so you look at military historians rick atkinson, andrew, you -- you don't have to havee a military background but i do think having extensive military

and that army would be -- then i think that army could have been big enough to track down and destroy washington, in the philadelphia campaign. that doesn't happen obviously. but i think that was their best opportunity. so it does go back to what mcafee was talking about with the strategy, i think really their strategy failed them in that respect in 1777. i argue that in the book, as you know. >> that leads nicely to my next question which is that your book is one of the most comprehensive studies of saratoga, and i wish i had it at hand, the appendices, the timelines are enormously useful. it is very well written and constructed. but you conclude with the generally-accepted view that the british lost because of poor planning and the failure of coordination between the chief architect in the war in london, john burgoyne and william howe. i think you have a slide of those three. >> i do. >> what you might like to do is show your slide and also give our audience a little background as to what the plan was and where it went wrong without act ever getting into the actual battle. >> sure.

army. his last class at west point graduated july 1 come 1839 and their commission is dated to that day. luis' commission dates july 10. all of those shenanigans he loses nine days in rank but it's good to know people in high places. so off he goes to the war zone and ease in florida almost immediately the second or third day there he's in hot combat but no longer the u.s. army makes a change in his command structure. the new command of all the u.s. troops in florida's brigadier general walker keith armistead. he said it as an aid in his experience changes dramatically but he gets in up-close view of how a general works and army. and they are 40 c. sent to a place called fort tollison and that's where he meets them young man named winfield scott hancock did was -- what's hancock's background his father benjamin has historic names and that would eat benjamin franklin hancock. they have twin boys in 1824 named winfield scott after the soldier and the other named hillary baker which doesn't se

so he was going to have an army-- he did have an army that was considerably smaller than the army that the british had had in america a year before, but despite that, he-- his orders were to bring washington to battle, hold onto new york, hold onto rhode island and implement this new southern strategy later on. he really faced an enormous task and from the very beginning clinton knew that he was up against it. my fate is hard, as he put it. and in a letter that he wrote almost immediately after being named commander, he said that he thought it was inevitable that britain would lose the war and he feared that he would be scapegoated for the loss of the war and it turned out he was prescient because after yorktown, many people in england did scapegate clinton and they blamed clinton arguing that he had been too passive, that he wasn't a risk taker, he wasn't dynamic enough, he just had not done enough, they argued, to have won a war that britain could have won. and i think most of those arguments were picked up by historians down the road so that clinton's reputation in the literature, h

the agenda is i want to go back to the army and if mead's not going to let me back into the army. maybe we can help get me to removed and that leads that leads into the gettysburg portion of the joint committee of the conduct of the war in the spring of 1864. now i hate hearing the joint committee referred to as the mead hearings on the battle of gettysburg joint committee had been going on for a long time. it goes on basically to the end of the war. gettysburg is only a portion of their testimony. but yeah, the guys running it the radical republicans for for a host of reasons. don't really like me me and they would be happy to me get removed from command and ironically get replaced with. joe hooker right and for anybody who says oh that could never have happened. how many times did george mcclellan come back to the army? so yeah, i was possible. so sickles is what he what mead calls and i meet i think meat is right sickles is what made calls an agent an agent of the joint committee of the conduct of the war and he testifies when he can you know in his behalf against sort of gener

of the british could have annihilated the entire continental army. of those victories would have won the war for the british they had another chance in 1777 the plan but london devised was for an army to come down from canada led by john burgoyne while general with burgoyne kept washington's army in between. instead of doing that, he left burgoyne to his own devices and how went on after philadelphia. mr. i think, the match last major chance ritesh had to win the war but that's not to say britain's defeat after that was guaranteed as i said earlier, it is a long desperate war, a lot of things go wrong after 1778 i was the war made the american economy collapsed american morale was sagging and george washington in august of 1780 wrote a letter to chief executive of pennsylvania in which he said i've almost ceased hope. at the same time washington was writing that letter, an american diplomat the beginning of the war overseas in europe returned to america for the first time or he landed in boston of all places and he's there for a few days and talks wi

he became the commander of the british army and learned of his appointment in may of 1778. he was the third british commander during the war. gage had been there for many years before the revolution and was recalled after the disasters along concord road and bunker hill and general william howe succeeded and when he was commander in 76 and 77 and resigned after saratoga so then he was named the commander he was from an aristocratic family. his father was a career naval officer who became the royal governor of new york and spent some of his formative years and new york city. he fought in two wars before the revolutionary war and earned a reputation as a brave, courageous, risk-taking soldier who was seriously wounded in an engagement in germany in the seven year war in the early 1760s. he was an intellectually curious individual. he read especially deeply on military history and strategy and in the year before the war broke out out of his own pocket he paid to make the trip deep into eastern europe between the russians and the turks hoping to learn more about the military st

the army for now at least. are not bringing in the army for now at least. not yet and some ofthe for now at least. not yet and some of the government's _ for now at least. not yet and some of the government's strategy - for now at least. not yet and some of the government's strategy at i of the government's strategy at the moment seems to be a wait and see. many ministers are hoping that this situation essentially resolves itself, that a lot of the people who are worried about running out of petrol have already been down to their local station, filled up their tanks, and because of that, some of the queues we have seen over the last few days might start to die down. interestingly, the minister we have had from this morning, the environment secretary, has been saying that the only reason that there are queues at petrol forecourts in the first place is because people are buying more petrol than they need. so the message from government continues to be, there's enough petrol to go around, the with hgv drivers isn'

there is military government led by the commanding general of the army.nd then the commandant itself responsible for keeping order on the streets. and a group of 1 billion former officials and andrew elliott. and with the chief of police or chief magistrate and he is responsible for the civilian apparatus and with those military offenders and in lodging for the poor and those who cannot afford it based on professional loyalty with adherence to the crown. for the traders and revolutionaries. and to adhere to them coming into the city. and street cleaners and clerks and rent collectors and so forth. so there is a weird civilian administration but it never has the full force of law as long as it is only backed by the military there is the idea it could end at any time. and then the examples of boston and newport and philadelphia and loyalist to collaborate and help the british and that faring poorly and even where the british do bring back the royal governor and conquer the entire province of georgia and then to call the colonial assembly back into session i

can you will be an army nightmare for all europeans will be germany and he goes to create an army that will have a strong. busy german component, even german leadership element to it. i think, you know, europe really wants this. that's why it's always a matter of rhetoric. they get the americans attention. i mean, even cross uniform patrol by, by, by the idea of a great, that's the way you were being entered and then we can pack our bags, get on with our stuff. but as soon as from old talk about the european density, he brought up the subject. hey, we said hi, in the 2nd world war you on, craig is so and so, and that was trump. so i just, i think this is a way to get to get off the ground. but again, you know, the opponents and proponents of bits will point out. this is much more of a bureaucratic process. i mean it's, again, was i started out brussels accumulating powers, organizations, budgets, and even though it would be quite meaningless. i mean, again, a rapid deployment where i, i didn't care how many will be in there. how many in somebody, albanians, i mean, i really can't reall
