Description

Identifying discrete geographical areas to be able to better consider a conflict that moves across hundreds of thou­sands of square miles of land and water, such as the American Civil War and World War II, has been a valuable historical method. All through this time of greater study of the war that made The united states, the authors of Theaters of the American Revolution take this approach for the first time. The result is a stimulating volume to be able to allow readers to see how the war flowed from region to region from 1775 to 1781, beginning in the Northern colonies and Canada, through the dark months in the Middle colonies, to a shift to the South and culmination at Yorktown. Concurrently, the war raged up and down the western frontier, with the Patriots working to keep the British and their Indian allies from disrupting the main battle armies to the east. Equally important was the war at sea, where American privateers and a fledgling navy attempted to harass the British; but with the entrance of France to the conflict, the keep an eye on of the sea took a a lot more balanced—and important— aspect. With specially commissioned maps and colorful descriptions of eighteenth century American terrain, settle­ments, and cities, in addition to key battles, Theaters of the American Revolution provides an ideal introduction to understanding one of the important wars in world history in its totality.
