Revolution

What if the story of America‘s founding is far more extraordinary than you were ever taught?The American Revolution was not merely a war. It was one of the most consequential turning points in human history. It was a struggle that challenged the power of kings, transformed the meaning of liberty, and launched an experiment in self-government that would influence nations around the world.In REVOLUTION, I bring the epic birth of the United States to life through a sweeping exploration of the people, principles, sacrifices, battles, and ideas that changed civilization forever.From the Age of Empires and the rise of the colonies to Lexington and Concord, Saratoga, Valley Forge, and Yorktown, this comprehensive account follows the extraordinary journey that created a nation. Meet the leaders, patriots, soldiers, statesmen, and ordinary citizens whose courage shaped history, including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and many others.More than a military history, this book examines the revolutionary ideas of liberty, constitutional government, natural rights, and religious freedom.
