Norman S. Poser is professor emeritus at Brooklyn Law School and the author of Lord Mansfield: Justice in the Age of Reason.
Known today chiefly for his surrender to the American forces at Saratoga in 1777, General John Burgoyne led a multidimensional life. From the Battlefield to the Stage remembers him as not only a participant in one of Britain's worst military disasters but also a brave soldier, successful playwright, reforming politician, and popular socialite.
