University Press returns with another short and captivating book - a brief history of the American Revolution.
The American Revolution is the most significant event in American history as, without it, there would not be the United States of America. Yet, there is perhaps no event in American history that has been more romanticized, mythologized, or bastardized.
The American Revolution has been interpreted by scholars, politicians, and internet agitators of all political stripes in ways to justify or vilify everything from the nation's monetary policy, to gun control, to foreign diplomacy. In order to fully appreciate the Revolution, one must understand what transpired before, during, and after the first and last shots were fired.
This short book provides an abbreviated account of the dazzling and devastating causes, events, and effects of the American Revolution - a version that you can read in about an hour.
