Focusing on the complexities surrounding the 1777 Battle of Saratoga, Theodore Corbett challenges the traditional narrative of a decisive American victory. He situates the battle within the broader social and political conflicts among settlers in the Hudson and Champlain valleys, revealing that the American triumph did not fully resolve the underlying issues. By examining the aftermath and local dynamics, Corbett offers a nuanced perspective on how Saratoga influenced the Revolutionary War and the involvement of France, suggesting a more intricate outcome than commonly perceived.
