American Revolutions by Alan Taylor
From a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, a fresh, authoritative history that recasts thinking about Americas founding period.
"An epic, landmark history that places the American Revolution on a global stage while never losing sight of the struggles and sufferings of major and minor characters.. Taylor's range is masterful." -- Jill Lepore, author of Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin "American Revolutions is a game changer-a sprawling, ambitious history that forever alters our understanding of the Revolutionary War era." -- Elizabeth Fenn, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Encounters at the Heart of the World: A History of the Mandan People "As masterful as its author and as pluralist as its title, American Revolutions combines strong narrative drive with a kaleidoscopic array of settings and characters. In vivid prose animated by prodigious research, Taylor reveals the fight for the independence of the United States as a bloody civil war in which violence and division were the norms and clarity of purpose the exception. This is a sweeping synthesis for a new century." -- Jane Kamensky, author of A Revolution in Color: The World of John Singleton Copley "The new standard work-essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the complicated beginnings of our national history." -- Peter S. Onuf, coauthor of "Most Blessed of the Patriarchs": Thomas Jefferson and the Empire of the Imagination
