Summary: Highly detailed and well illustrated account of the battle.
Comment: As usual, the Osprey Campaign Series sets high standards for detailed histories of key battles. Yorktown 1781 certainly meets these standards and explains the battle and events leading up to it. The illustrations are commendable and relevant including excellent 3-D diagrams of the battle field at various times. The only problem I had with this book was the somewhat dry wording by the author. The narrative is presented with a stuffy tone that sounds to the reader more like a college lecture than an account of a life or death struggle. This may be too critical however when considering the typical reader of Osprey Military books and military history in general. Aside from the dry writing style, this book is an excellent addition to the series and gives more than enough detail surrounding the battle of Yorktown and the events leading up to it. This book only gets 3 stars because the other Osprey titles are so darn good they are hard to measure up to.
