Description by OLDIES.com:

A key moment in the Revolutionary War between Great Britain and her 13 rebellious colonies, the Battle of Monmouth took place on June 28, 1778, in rural New Jersey. The British assumed that the American Army was weak, ill-disciplined, and incapable of facing up to seasoned British regulars. But at Monmouth, things turned out differently. Washington used his artillery so effectively that the cowed British were pinned down, took significant casualties, and left their dead unburied. In this hour, historians, archaeologists, meteorologists, physiologists, and munitions experts examine the evidence of what took place at Monmouth. In modern laboratory conditions, they test what happens when men in heavy woolen uniforms fight on one of the hottest days in New Jersey history, and investigate the effects of a new intensive training regime on the colonial forces.

Product Description:

On June 28, 1778, George Washington's ragtag colonial forces defeated the well-outfitted British army at the Battle of Monmouth in New Jersey. This History channel program takes a scientific look at the actual physical conditions that may have precipitated victory through expert analysis from historians as well as archaeologists, meteorologists, and physiologists.
