Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne: Misadventures of an English General in the Revolution

(1927) by F.J. Huddleston is a biographical account of General John Burgoyne, known for his leadership in the British Army during the American Revolutionary War and for his dramatic surrender at Saratoga. Huddleston, a librarian at the British War Office, portrays Burgoyne as a "very British type"—a blend of a dashing, talented, and charming gentleman with a propensity for gambling and, ultimately, a disastrous military commander.
