Ultimately, strategic incoherence, ineffective command and control, and a misreading of the situation contributed to the series of cascading failures of the British effort. Carpenter's analysis of how and why this happened expands our understanding of the British decision-making and operations in the Southern Campaign and their fateful consequences in the War for Independence.
