This vivid and compelling study shows that the P.O.W. is hardly a new phenomenon.\" — Ted Widmer, author of Ark of the Liberties\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring the Revolutionary War, some 200,000 Americans took up arms against the British Crown. Just over 6,800 of those men died in battle. More than four times that number — as many as 32,000 soldiers, seamen, and civilians — became prisoners of war. Until now, their story has remained untold.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn New York City, the jailhouse of the American Revolution, captured Americans were stuffed into a hastily assembled collection of public buildings, sugar houses, and prison ships. The prisoners were shockingly overcrowded and chronically underfed. Confined under atrocious conditions, American P.O.W.s perished by the thousands. In Forgotten Patriots, Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Edwin G. Burrows shows that as many as 18,000 Americans may have died in these prisons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForgotten Patriots is the first-ever account of what took place in these hellholes. Providing a unique perspective on the Revolutionary War, it is a sobering commentary on how Americans have remembered our struggle for independence — and how much we have forgotten.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[A] tour-de-force of relentless research, keen interpretation, and elegant prose.\" — Barnet Schecter, author of The Battle for New York\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the author:\u003cbr\u003eEdwin G.
