The American Revolution: 1763-1783

Drama of American History

De: James Lincoln Collier, Christopher Collier

Narrado por: Jim Manchester

The American Revolution examines the people and events involved in the significant war by which the 13 original colonies broke away from England. The authors explain the many sources of conflict between the Americans and the British government, how each side approached the problems, and the results of the escalating violence.

History is dramatic - and the renowned, award-winning authors Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier demonstrate this in the compelling Drama of American History series aimed at young readers. Covering American history from the founding of Jamestown through present day, these volumes explore far beyond the dates and events of a historical chronicle to present a moving illumination of the ideas, opinions, attitudes and tribulations that led to the birth of this great nation.

Great summary

This is a great summary of the American Revolution. Great for people who want to begin learning more about American history.

Intro into the American Revolutionary War

This is a great book that gives general information about the American Revolutionary War. This book would be a great introductory into this subject matter for anyone interested in the American Revolutionary War, but doesn't know where to start.

Brief but interesting

History professors take another run at telling stories we all think we know. They do a nice job of getting to the point and describing forces of the day that supported victory.

good summary

it's a good summary of a lot of early American history, but it also leaves a lot out or skipped over.
