57292Addison-Wesley Publishing Company Reading Massachusetts. Later Printing. The book was copyrighted in 1956 and this edition is from the same publisher and has the scarcer cover.

19962195688Atlantic Monthly Press 1996. 5th Printing. Trade Paperback. Good. 5th printing. Light stain along top edge causing mild wrinkle. 1996 Trade Paperback. xiii 416 pp. In The Long Fuse Don Cook investigates the American Revolution from the British side throwing new light on this colorful age and its players. He draws from a multitude of primary sources including personal correspondence and political memoranda to show how Britain at the height of her power but suffering from internal political strife made one mistake after another culminating in the loss of her prized colonies. In opposition to King George's American policies were such towering figures as William Pitt Edmund Burke and Charles James Fox; their speeches in the House of Commons are some of the best oratory in the English language. But despite their eloquence and forcefulness they did not have the votes to prevail. In the end the Americans rebelled as much against an English political state of mind as against the British Army. Cook takes us through the war years: King George's decision that "blows must decide" the colonies' future; Lord North's futile effort to negotiate peace after the British defeat at Saratoga which only hastened the American alliance with France; the secret letter from Washington to Lafayette that the British intercepted perhaps altering the outcome of the Battle of Yorktown; and the peace negotiations masterminded by Franklin and John Jay.
