Redcoat (novel)

Redcoat is a 1987 historical novel by the British author Bernard Cornwell. It takes place during the American War of Independence at the time of the Philadelphia campaign of 1777 and 1778. The title refers to the Red coat worn by the British Army. It was a stand-alone novel rather than the series such as the Richard Sharpe novels or Starbuck Chronicles which the author is best known for.
