 Read the Prologue of The Battle for New York by Barnet Schecter
The British commanders in chief, Admiral Richard Howe and his brother General William Howe, counted Americans generally as their friends, ever since the government of Massachusetts funded a monument to their older brother, a popular officer who led both British and provincial troops in the Seven Years’ War.

He constantly and correctly disagreed with Howe’s tactics, and his narrative, written after the war, is a revealing blend of impressive military achievements, thinly veiled critiques of other commanders, and abundant self-justification that also displays his single-minded concern, verging on paranoia, for holding New York City throughout the war.
