Summary: "Die Hessen und die andern deutschen Hilfstruppen im Kriege Gross-Britanniens gegen Amerika 1776-1783" by Edward J. Lowell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the role of German auxiliary troops, commonly known as the Hessians, who fought for Great Britain during the American Revolutionary War. It aims to provide a detailed examination of their involvement, the circumstances surrounding their recruitment, and the socio-political context of the time. The opening of the book introduces the context of German princes who supplied troops to Britain during the American Revolution, highlighting their motivations and the systemic practice of selling soldiers as mercenaries. It discusses the historical background of the region, particularly the state of Hessen-Cassel and its landgrave, Friedrich II, who played a significant role in this trade. Through discussions of contracts and the political atmosphere in 18th-century Germany, the author seeks to debunk myths surrounding these soldiers while offering insight into their experiences and the societal conditions that led to their deployment in America.
