James L. Stokesbury has created a chronicle of the war itself that will captivate readers, with details of military campaigns, profiles of the leaders on each side, and the problems of maintaining morale throughout a grueling war. Stokesbury also goes beyond the Peace of Paris in 1783 to explore the challenges faced by the United States as it emerged from the Revolution, victorious but militarily exhausted and facing financial ruin.\u003c\/p\u003e James L. Stokesbury is the author of A Short History of World War I, A Short History of World War II, A Short History of the Korean War, and A Short History of the American Revolution. Before his death in 1995 he was a professor of history at Acadia University in Nova Scotia, Canada.\"Reducing an entire war to manageable length is a high literary art form, and Professor Stokesbury has mastered it.\" -- Library Journal","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53672978546961,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780688123048.jpg?v=1781522294","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-a-short-history-of-the-american-revolution-by-james-l-stokesbury","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
