About the Author

Oscar ("Ed") Gilbert was a Marine Corps artilleryman and subsequently a geoscientist specialising in internatinal oil exploration. He is the author of an acclaimed series of works on US Marine Corps tank actions, from World War II to Korea and Vietnam to the 21st-century Middle East. He has also, with Romain Cansiere, written Tanks in Hell, a close examination of a Marine Corps tank company in the horrific battle for Tarawa. Catherine R. Gilbert is a retired speech pathologist and audiologist. Her interest in genealogy led to extensive research into the organization and function of the Southern state militias (from Maryland to the Carolinas) in the American Revolution. With Ed, she co-authored True for the Cause of Liberty: The Second Spartan Regiment in the American Revolution; Cowpens 1781: Turning Point of the American Revolution. Catherine holds the non-profit Presidential Service Center Distinguished Service Medal.

Reviews

It is meticulously researched, drawn heavily from interviews, letters, diary entries, and memoirs. For serious scholars of the Revolutionary War, the research alone is exciting. True for the Cause of Liberty is a valuable contribution.
*War History Online 17/02/2016*

I've not read a great deal about the American War of Independence, and although this is a quite specific slice of that history, it is nevertheless engaging and a decent enough place to start. Slanted decidedly against the British, this book illluminates a period of that conflict with unerring clarity and accuracy.
