I'll Storm Hell by Noel Gerson

Historical novel

While tensions grow between the British Crown and its American colonies, precocious tearaway `Mad' Anthony Wayne studies the victories of Hannibal, Caesar and the Duke of Marlborough, in the hope one day leading an army of his own.
Then in 1774, inspired by the call-to-arms of Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, he raises a battalion of militiamen; a rag-tag bunch of farmers, but tough Pennsylvanian Patriots nonetheless.
By 1775 the colonies have declared themselves the United States of America, and Anthony Wayne is marching his men to expel the Redcoats and protect a new country's independence.

But as war drags on, the challenges facing the Americans evolve.

Washington knows the capture of Stony Point, a formidable British redoubt, could be the turning point of the war.
Despite the odds, Anthony Wayne believes he can storm it.

Noel Bertram Gerson (1913-1988) was a prolific American author, who wrote 325 books under his own name and under several pseudonyms.
