The world at war -- England's last chance -- Birth of the Republic.
Narrator, Edward Herrmann ; host, Roger Mudd ; voices, Peter Coyote, Brian Dennehy, Hal Holbrook, Rob Lowe, James Woods, Michael York.
The war continues on two fronts: George Washington, fresh off his stay at Valley Forge, leads his troops into Monmouth and Indians engage the colonists on the frontier. It's a naval theme as some of the war's big ship battles grab attention on the disc. John Paul Jones does his thing taking out the British ship Serapis and the British run through Charleston. Meanwhile, an important battle looms in Cowpens. The Battle of Cowpens demoralizes the British and decimates one of their elite battle squads. Hostilities end when Cornwallis surrenders and the United States officially gains its independence at the Treaty of Paris.
