The Battles of Saratoga follow the British campaign of 1777 that aimed to isolate New England by advancing south from Canada. It traces John Burgoyne’s increasingly difficult march, the fighting at Freeman’s Farm and Bemis Heights and the American command tensions involving Horatio Gates and Benedict Arnold.
Burgoyne’s surrender was a decisive strategic victory for the revolutionaries. The book explains how Saratoga persuaded France to enter the war openly, converting a colonial rebellion into an international conflict that Britain had to fight across several theatres.
