- Summary
- A brilliant re-creation of the American Revolution- exclusively from the British point of view- that gives a dramatically different picture of the birth of a nation. Using firsthand journals, letters from British officers in the field, reports from colonial governors in the colonies and documents in the Public Record Office in London, Michael Pearson provides a "contemporary" report of the Revolution. Seen from this perspective, some of the major events of the war are given startling interpretations. --
