Virtual Author’s Talk – Cornwallis: Soldier and Statesman in a Revolutionary World

Charles Cornwallis was a leading figure in late eighteenth-century Great Britain. His career spanned the American War of Independence, Irish Union, the French Revolutionary Wars and the building of the second British Empire in India. Focusing on the first part of his new book, “Cornwallis: Soldier and Statesman in a Revolutionary World,” Richard Middleton offers insight into Cornwallis’ time in America and shows that Cornwallis’ legacy during the Revolutionary War is significantly more complex than the shortcomings he is most often associated with. Richard Middleton is an independent scholar and was formerly associate professor of American history at Queen’s University Belfast.
