Decisive Battles of the American Revolution

The American Revolution is perhaps the least understood of all the great events that have shaped the American Republic. Although historians have not ignored the military side of the Revolution, they have tended to emphasize the political, economic, and diplomatic aspects of the war. These are crucial, but because the American colonists took up arms and fought for more than six bitter years, a clear understanding of the flow of battles and engagements is critical to making sense of the greater issues of the war and the ways that it shaped the new nation. Decisive Battles of the American Revolution remains the best concise history of the war’s military action. First published in 1962, historian Joseph B.
