This book captures the buildup to the first battles in the American Revolutionary War, which initiated the transition of thirteen American colonies from British rule to independence. The author provides a vivid account of the events of April 19, 1775, when British troops marched to Concord intending to seize military supplies and arrest rebel leaders.
