Every American, no matter how ignorant they are of our country's history, has a vision about the American Revolution. For some it is the image of Bostonians throwing tea overboard in an act of defiance. To others it is a silversmith named Paul Revere galloping at full speed to warn the country side that the enemy is coming. Yet still for others, it is George Washington leading his small band of patriot soldiers crossing an icy Delaware River to sneak up on an unsuspecting and superior enemy. No matter what your vision of our forefather's fight for independence, it is important that you gather a better understanding of the total picture of this most important of periods in history. There may be no better book for you to gain this complete picture then Thomas Fleming's Liberty!: The American Revolution. This book goes with a PBS special of the same title, but this great work of research and writing can more than stand on its own.
Fleming writes about many of the aspects of the Revolution; social, economic, political, and especially military. Ever major and minor campaign is covered with significant detail so that a reader gains a thorough understanding of the events that make up this nation-creating adventure. In addition, this meticulous coverage of the battles that make up this struggle are enhanced by presentations and sidebars that let you into the thoughts of both the key figures of the period and the commoners who did the majority of the living and dying. In addition to the scholarly writing and delightful topic presentation, the book is full of artwork and images that make the subject truly come alive and speak to the reader.
Learning about the early days of our country is probably the most
important thing any American can ascertain about history. If you are
only going to one book to help you understand this subject, this is
probably the book. Thomas Fleming has created a classic book that can
and should be enjoyed by botht the masses and the student of American
history.
