From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up Although he's traversing the well-trodden ground of the American Revolution, by putting to use his consummate skills as a researcher-writer, Marrin has written a highly readable and interest-holding overview of the war. With balance and economy, he makes good use of relevant contemporary quotations and insight-laden discussions of personalitiesfamous, infamous, and little-knownin order to tell what happened and who did it. Coverage is also given to motivating ideologies and historical currents so that readers can understand why certain events took place. Marrin's chapter regarding the ``secret war'' of spies and codes should be of special interest to younger readers. The book complements well Marrin's 1812: the War Nobody Won (1985) and Struggle for a Continent: the French and Indian Wars 1690-1760 (1987, both Atheneum). David A. Lindsey, Lakewood Junior/Senior High School, Wash.

Reader Reviews
I believe that Albert Marrin did a wonderful job in presenting the American Revolution. This book creates a vivid picture of the war and the struggles of the individuals involved in the war.
