In August 1776, less than a month after the Continental Army formally declared independence from Britain, the War of Independence came to an unexpected and disastrous end. At the Battle of Brooklyn, General George Washington found that the enemy's troops were more numerous and better trained, and that his side seemed to be losing ground. Thanks to that desperate and heroic rearguard force, also known as the "Immortal 400". As a work about the history of the American Revolutionary War, the author uses time as the main line and uses multiple perspectives such as political leaders, senior military officers, ordinary soldiers, prisoners, and wartime civilians in the Revolutionary War to present this famous classic war in the history of world wars in a narrative way.
