Few casual readers on the American War of Independence are aware of the contribution made by Spain to the American cause. Under the leadership of Bernado de Galvez the Spanish colonial army took on the British and defeated them on numerous occasions along shores of the Gulf of Mexico. His actions prevented the British from opening a southern front against the armies of George Washington. The history of the campaign is described in this book along with forty-three illustrations by the famed Spanish artist José Bueno and the American Lull. A number uniforms not seen before are shown along with the flags and standards of many of the units.
