Storm over Savannah

Storm Over Savannah: The Story of Count dEstaing and the Siege of the Town in 1779 tells the story of Frances attempt to take down Savannah, the center for Britains military power in the colonies in 1779. This mission, led by Charles-Henri, Comte dEstaing, was taken on by four thousand troops of King Louis XVI, in cooperation with Americans. This account of the little-known Siege of Savannah reveals a dramatic story worth telling.
