Title: An excellent overview of the Americian Revolution
Review: The authors are to be commended for their ability to describe and detail the events of 1775-81 in lively and readable manner. The vivid descriptions of the key players caused me to seek their biographies. If I were a history teacher I would make this book required reading as a worthwhile overview of the period. One aspect of our revolution that has always intrigued me is the role France played. Without the infusion of French gold, weapons and eventually direct military assistance our revolution would not of succeeded. This point has been sadly overlooked, downplayed or "forgotten" by the casual survey courses taught in High School. This book clearly make the point that without France we may still be part of the British Empire. Highly recommended as an engaging introduction to the military and political events that resulted in America's independence from England.
