At the time the primary shots were fired at Lexington and Concord the American colonists had little chance, if any, of militarily defeating the British. The nascent American nation had no navy, little in the way in which of artillery, and a militia bereft even of gunpowder. In his detailed accounts Larrie Ferreiro shows that without the extensive military and monetary fortify of the French and Spanish, the American lead to would never have succeeded.
 
Ferreiro adds to the historical records the names of French and Spanish diplomats, merchants, soldiers, and sailors whose contribution is eventually given recognition. As a substitute of viewing the American Revolution in isolation, Brothers at Arms reveals the birth of the American nation as the center-piece of a world coalition fighting against a not unusual enemy.
