When the King heard his forces had taken Ticonderoga in August 1777, he thought he had won the war.  What went wrong?  We talk with Kevin Weddle about his new book, The Compleat Victory, about the decisive battle of Saratoga.  How did the British strategy go so badly wrong--and why did the Americans win?  And what did the victory mean?  Kevin Weddle is an historian, but also a graduate of West Point with a 28-year career in the United States Army.  He now teaches military theory and strategy at the U.S. Army War College, and brings a lifetime of experience and a depth of research to bear in giving a new history of this important battle, and the characters involved--Burgoyne and Gates, Arnold and Gansevoort, and many others.
