BOOK - The Hessians And The Other German Auxiliaries Of Great Britain In The Revolutionary War. By Edward J. Lowell (This historical reprint by Global Heritage Press) The history of the German auxiliaries, who fought for Great Britain in the Revolutionary War, has not received from American writers the amount of attention which its importance would seem to deserve. Much of the original source material used by the author in 1884 was lost due to bombing during the Second World War. This circumstance heightens the the importance of this early work.
