Updated and revised from the popular 2002 edition, this is a concise study of the American Revolutionary War.
The American Revolution, or the American War of Independence, has been characterized politically as a united political uprising of the American colonies and militarily as a guerrilla campaign of colonists against the inflexible British military establishment. In this book, Daniel Marston argues that this belief, though widespread, is a misconception. He contends that the American Revolution, in reality, created deep political divisions in the population of the Thirteen Colonies, while militarily pitting veterans of the Seven Years' War against one another, in a conflict that combined guerrilla tactics and classic 18th-century campaign techniques on both sides. The peace treaty of 1783 that brought an end to the war marked the formal beginning of the United States of America as an independent political entity.
With revisions from the author, this overview of the American Revolution provides an important reference resource for the academic or student reader as well as those with a general interest in the period.(P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
