Stephen Brumwell

Stephen Brumwell is an award-winning writer and independent historian with a special interest in eighteenth century Britain and North America. His books include Redcoats: The British Soldier and War in the Americas, 1755-1763 (Cambridge University Press, 2002); White Devil: A True Story of War, Savagery and Vengeance in Colonial America (Da Capo, 2005); Paths of Glory: The Life and Death of General James Wolfe (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2007); and George Washington: Gentleman Warrior (Quercus, 2013). He regularly speaks about his research in the US and UK, and in 2012 successfully championed George Washington in a debate at the National Army Museum, Chelsea, to find “Britain’s Greatest Foe.” Stephen lives in Amsterdam, and is very grateful to the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History for funding a short-term fellowship that supported his research in New York.
