Hessians: Officer, Baroness, Chaplain--Three German Experiences in the American Revolution

The book delves into the American Revolution from the perspectives of three distinct German individuals: a dedicated soldier, a determined baroness, and a reflective chaplain.

Meanwhile, Philipp Waldeck, a chaplain, grapples with the chaos of war while accompanying his unit in challenging locales. Their experiences illuminate the complexities of the conflict through German eyes.
