Product Description
The first one-volume survey of the American Revolution that is both objective and comprehensive, this outstanding narrative history traces the growth of a conflict that inexorably set the American colonies on the road to independence. Offering a spirited chronicle of the war itself -- the campaigns and strategies, the leaders on both sides, the problems of fielding and sustaining an army, and of maintaining morale -- Stokesbury also brings the reader to the Peace of Paris in 1783 and into the miltarily exhausted, financially ruined yet victorious United States as it emerged to create a workable national system.
About The Author
James L. Stokesbury is the author of A Short History of World War I, A Short History of World War II, A Short History of the Korean War, and A Short History of the American Revolution. Before his death in 1995 he was a professor of history at Acadia University in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Reader Reviews
This is a marvellous book which manages to keep the reader's interest throughout its length and is one of the best start points for anyone who wishes to learn more about the American War of Independence, without swimming in a sea of useless details. I read this book keeping Craig Symonds's ¨Battlefield Atlas of the American Revolution¨ on the other hand and I must say that these two works make the ideal pair for the beginner on the subject. Stokesbury's book may be short but this doesn't mean that it lacks analysis or criticism of the various strategies and tactics employed by the opponents- quite the contrary.
