Episode description
Few British officers names from the American Revolution come to mind as readily as Charles, First Marquis of Cornwallis (1738–1805). What happened to him after his surrender at Yorktown? Richard Middleton, author of the new biography Cornwallis: Soldier and Statesman in a Revolutionary World joins us to discuss Lord Cornwallis's career after Yorktown, the lessons learned in America which he applied to India and to Ireland, and Cornwallis's role in British politics and the military.
