SUMMARY:Virtual Author's Talk - Cornwallis: Soldier and Statesman in a Revolutionary World
DESCRIPTION: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\, 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. \nThe talk will last approximately one hour on Zoom.
