The American Revolution Book - Landmark Books | History of US Independence & Revolutionary War for Kids & Adults | Perfect for School Projects & History Enthusiasts

I did not realize this 154 page paperback Landmark book (The American Revolution by Bruce Bliven, Jr.) was written for children when I purchased it; nevertheless, I found it an interesting and very informative book. It presents this important topic in a clear and concise way, which makes it easy for anyone to understand the material.This book is organized into twenty chapters. The first chapter provides information about a young British King (King George) and his battle with France. The second chapter explains the “quarrels over money” and taxes on the American colony at that time. The third chapter tells about the American boycott of British goods. The Boston Tea Party incident is covered in chapter four. Chapter five focuses on “the first continental congress. Lexington and Concord battles are explored in chapter six. Chapter seven covers Bunker Hill. The “Americans attack Canada” is explained in chapter eight. Chapter nine tells how when “the British leave Boston and the Americans declare their independence.” The remaining chapters cover the numerous battles showing just how brutal the war was with Britain and how the leadership of George Washington shaped our nation with his victory over the British.I was impressed how much detail this book contained about the American Revolution. In spite of this book being aimed for youthful Americans, this is a book even adults will enjoy reading.Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Haiku Moments: How to read, write and enjoy haiku).
