A history of the American War of Independence/Revolutionary War. n interesting overview of the revolution, placing it in context of the changes in peoples' lives and worldviews. The real revolution, the author argues, was not so much a military struggle as a people finding their own voice, viewpoint, and political philosophy. Generally accessible without being overly vague; specific footnotes would have been nice. Also, the looks into the lives and thoughts of specific people caught up in events seemed superficial, instead of really bringing the events to life. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A newly revised version of a classic in American historyWhen "The American Revolution" was first published in 1985, it was praised as the first synthesis of the Revolutionary War to use the new social history. Edward Countryman offered a balanced view of how the Revolution was made by a variety of groups-ordinary farmers as well as lawyers, women as well as men, blacks as well as whites-who transformed the character of American life and culture. In this newly revised edition, Countryman stresses the painful destruction of British identity and the construction of a new American one. He expands his geographical scope of the Revolution to include areas west of the Alleghenies, Europe, and Africa, and he draws fresh links between the politics and culture of the independence period and the creation of a new and dynamic capitalist economy. This innovative interpretation of the American Revolution creates an even richer, more comprehensive portrait of a critical period in America's history.
