The American Revolution: The Stories That Built A Nation: From Boston's Tea To Yorktown's Surrender — The People, Battles, And Gambles Behind American Independence

A band of farmers, smugglers, and lawyers took on the most powerful empire on Earth. By every reasonable measure, they should have lost.

Have you tried history books that read like a list of dates with the humanity edited out?

You see, the Revolution is above all a story — of a ragged army that kept losing and refusing to quit, of a general holding it together by sheer will at Valley Forge, of ordinary people making the most dangerous bet in political history.

Here's just a fraction of what you'll discover:

* From tax dispute to tea party to shots at Lexington — how it actually escalated

* Washington's genius: not winning battles, but never losing the army

* The Declaration: what it says, who risked everything by signing

* Saratoga, the French gamble, and the road to Yorktown

* The women, spies, and unsung players the textbooks skip

…and much more!

So even if you slept through history class, this is the founding story told the way it deserves — as the against-all-odds epic it was.
