This pamphlet critiques the military strategies and conduct of General Sir William Howe during the American Revolutionary War, particularly focusing on his maneuvers around White Plains. The work is a response to the military actions of Howe, emphasizing the perceived shortcomings and indecision that marked his leadership. In this pamphlet, Mauduit presents an analysis of Howe's military campaign against American forces at White Plains, highlighting his cautious approach and apparent missed opportunities to engage successfully with the enemy. The book discusses specific military movements from New York to White Plains, the engagements that occurred, and Howe's decisions to delay or withdraw his forces. Criticism is aimed at Howe's lack of aggressive action, which Mauduit suggests allowed the American forces to regroup and maintain strategic positions. The narrative raises questions about Howe's motives and effectiveness as a commander, ultimately portraying him as a leader whose indecisiveness may have altered the course of events during this critical period in the Revolutionary War.
