How could a nation of eight million fail to subdue a struggling
British colony of 300,000? In this remarkable account of the
war’s first year, Pierre Burton transforms history into an
engrossing narrative that reads like a fast-paced novel. Drawing
on memoirs, diaries, and official dispatches, the author gets
inside the characters who fought the warthe common soldiers, the
generals, the bureaucrats and the profiteers, the traitors, and
the loyalists. This is a gripping account of a fascinatingly
complex war that shaped the boundaries of America as we know them
today.
