On January 17, 1781, a remarkable battle took place in the backwoods of South Carolina. British Lt. Colonel Banastre Tarleton, handpicked by General Charles Cornwallis for command due to his dash and record of accomplishment, was opposed by Brigadier General Daniel Morgan, a rough-and-tumble son of the American frontier. Morgan employed a scheme so brilliantly conceived and masterfully executed that within an hour, the British found themselves overwhelmed, enveloped, and routed from the field. In response to this stunning American victory, Cornwallis embarked on a reckless, desperate trek north in pursuit of Morgan - a strategy that ultimately led to his own defeat at Yorktown.

In his compelling account of the Battle of Cowpens, Jim Stempel makes the case that Morgan's victory closely mirrors Hannibal's extraordinary triumph at Cannae, regarded by many as one of the greatest military accomplishments of all time. With a narrative style that plunges listeners into the center of the events, American Hannibal will enthrall students of American history and newcomers to the subject alike.

Daniel Morgan, along with other generals, captains, soldiers, and militiamen in the South Continental Army are true American heroes. When I come home each day to my loving wife and daughters, I remember those soldiers marching through tough winter days, sustaining horrid wounds, starved, and battled fatigued. It was by their direct action, to stand up to the British despite any odds or hesitation, that I enjoy the luxury of my family and peace in my free nation. I am grateful for their selflessness and hope their history is preserved and spread, such as in this great book. God bless America and those who sacrifice themselves for the values that sustain the nation.

Sometimes these war books, whether it be civil war, WW2 or the revolution, can come off as a wordy historical recap of an event or person. THIS book however has the perfect amount of depth and detail used in the exact right moments that it reads like a thriller. I am an SC native and there is a Daniel Morgan statue in the downtown area of my town. I’ve never heard the battle of cowpens story in any kind of detail. I’ve even visited the battlefield and this is the first time I’ve known of its significance.

VERY well written, and perfectly detailed Historical narrative

I really enjoyed this story, particularly the parallel storylines bouncing back and forth between Morgan and his militia men and Tarleton and his dragoons. You can feel the tension as they get closer and closer to Cow pens. The narrator does a fantastic job of narrating the battle and the aftermath. Great listen that I've listened to multiple times. Highly recommend.

Fantastic story telling

The story is well-written and kept me engaged, although a few parts were a little more tedious. The author did a good job telling the stories of the participants and including interesting details. I also liked the narrator. All in all, I think today's generation would benefit from more well-written accounts of our history like this.

Fast paced, but thorough. The story of an under appreciated American hero and battle. Daniel Morgan was one of America’s greatest Generals and patriots.

Excellent
