The American Revolutionary War and The War of 1812
Many Americans buoy their national pride and patriotism in the tableau of the American Revolution--where the downtrodden rose up against taxation and rule from abroad to defeat one of the most powerful countries in the world. From the midnight ride of Paul Revere to the cold winter at Valley Forge, freedom was a right proudly won. This book investigates the important battles, speeches, and key players of this inspiring upsurge that ended in the creation of a new nation.

Series Review: America at War"This series tells the full story of the major military conflicts of the United States like few other sets have done, while being written in a way that almost anyone could understand. Numerous illustrations and pictures aid in explaining what happened. The brief biographical sketches of nearly every major person of world importance at the time are objective and filled with detail. Many news items, speeches, and military engagements are explained in blocked text, giving the reader a better understanding of terms and events...This set provides good value for the money."
