WAR OF THE REVOLUTION, THE

1-11780

Christopher Ward chronicles the history not of the American Revolution itself, but rather that of the war caused by that revolution-the military operations on land in the War for Independence. Originally published 60 years ago, the book was recognized as a modern classic of American historical scholarship as well as a narrative masterpiece; it remains probably the most cited single work on the American Revolutionary War.

The original two-volume set is by far the best overview of the AWI. Filled with numerous maps covering all battles. Index, notes, biblio, several appendix.

Nice balance between detail and readability.
