The nascent American nation had no navy, little in the way of artillery, and a militia bereft even of gunpowder. In his detailed accounts Larrie Ferreiro shows that without the extensive military and financial support of the French and Spanish, the American cause would never have succeeded.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Ferreiro adds to the historical records the names of French and Spanish diplomats, merchants, soldiers, and sailors whose contribution is at last given recognition. Instead of viewing the American Revolution in isolation, \u003ci\u003eBrothers at Arms\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the birth of the American nation as the centerpiece of an international coalition fighting against a common enemy.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53506966585617,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781101910306.jpg?v=1778119088","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/products\/books-brothers-at-arms-by-larrie-d-ferreiro","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
