Did a scandalous love affair cost the British Empire the American Revolutionary War?

In Snug As A Flea: Lust, Failure & Time in the American Revolutionary War, author Roger Schatz unveils one of the most intriguing and consequential sidebars of American history. General William Howe was a formidable British Commander-In-Chief tasked with crushing the American rebellion. But instead of delivering the final blow to George Washington's vulnerable Continental Army, Howe repeatedly stalled. Why?

The answer may lie in his notorious, three-year affair with Elizabeth Lloyd Loring, a married woman whose presence in Howe's tent became the scandalous talk of the 13 Colonies and the halls of British Parliament.

While history books often attribute the British defeat to logistics, foreign intervention, or American resilience, Schatz presents a compelling case that Howe's libido and his dalliances with Mrs. Loring profoundly altered the course of the war. From the abandonment of Boston and the bloody Battle of Long Island to the disastrous British surrender at Saratoga and the satirical 'Battle of the Kegs,' this fascinating narrative explores the circumstantial evidence surrounding the affair that gave the Americans the one thing they desperately needed: time.

Perfectly timed for the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Snug As A Flea breathes new life into the Revolutionary War. It’s a captivating listen for history buffs, military scholars, and anyone who loves a true story of lust, politics, and monumental failure.
