A fascinating and wide-ranging eyewitness account of the birth of the United States



This revised and updated edition of The American Revolution offers an accessible and authoritative account of the war that forged a nation.

From the first sparks of rebellion to the final treaty, this comprehensive visual history charts the key battles, political tensions, and personal stories that shaped the United States. Discover how events like the Boston Massacre, the Declaration of Independence, and the surrender at Yorktown unfolded with vivid artworks and photographs, first-hand accounts, and timelines that bring clarity to every phase of the conflict.

Packed with striking imagery and galleries of weaponry, uniforms, and military gear, alongside detailed explorations of life during wartime – including the experiences of women, enslaved people, and Native Americans. Biographies of major figures – from George Washington and Thomas Paine to Benedict Arnold – offer deeper insights into the human side of the fighting.

Two and a half centuries later, The American Revolution proves that the story of America's founding is as powerful and relevant as ever.
