Proceed, Sergeant Lamb

This is the second in a two-book series telling the story of Sergeant Roger Lamb, a non-commissioned officer in the British Army, who served in America during the American War of Independence. Captured by General Johnny Burgoyne after the Battle of Saratoga, he made a daring escape and later served under General Cornwallis.

Following closely Sergeant Lamb’s personal memoirs, renowned poet, classicist, and novelist Robert Graves traces the sergeant’s harrowing time in the service, providing a compelling, only barely fictionalized eyewitness account of a crucial point in American history.
