Renegade Revolutionary: General Charles Lee

Professor Phil Pappas of Union County College explores Charles Lee, one of the
most complex and controversial of the American revolutionaries.  Based on his new book about Lee, Dr. Papas
chronicles the general’s radical political outlook, his cross-cultural
experiences, his cosmopolitanism, and his confidence that the American
Revolution could be won primarily by the militia (or irregulars) rather than a
centralized regular army.
