Les États-Unis se rapprochent de plus en plus de l'indépendance. Le tir entendu dans le monde entier résonnait toujours dans les oreilles du Parlement alors que des révolutionnaires passionnés prenaient les armes pour et contre le roi et le pays. Dans ce mélange captivant de recherche minutieuse et de narration riche, Derek W. Beck continue son exploration dans la période précédant la déclaration d'indépendance, quelques jours seulement dans la nouvelle guerre révolutionnaire.
La guerre avant l'indépendance transporte les lecteurs dans les années violentes de 1775 et 1776, avec la tristement célèbre bataille de Bunker Hill – un tournant dans la Révolution – et la marche enneigée et balayée par le vent vers le sol gelé à la bataille de Québec, se terminant par la conclusion passionnante de la campagne de Boston. Des recherches méticuleuses et de nouveaux matériaux tirés des lettres, des agendas et des recherches d'investigation ouvrent les portes non seulement à des figures et des visages familiers, mais aussi aux triomphes et tribulations peu connus des plus grands chefs militaires américains, y compris George Washington.
Merveilleusement détaillé et superposé à la perfection, The War Before Independence apporte le bouleversement précoce de l'Amérique à une ébullition féroce des deux côtés du champ de bataille, et capture vivement l'esprit d'un combat qui continue d'inspirer les cœurs courageux aujourd'hui.

Award-winning author Derek W. Beck has always had a passion for military history, which inspired him to start his career in the U.S. Air Force. He has served as an officer on Active Duty in science roles and in space operations. In 2005, he earned a Master of Science degree at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he also fell in love with Boston's revolutionary past. To more fully pursue writing, he later transitioned to the Air Force Reserves, though he still remains quite active, presently holding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Derek's first book, Igniting the American Revolution: 1773-1775, was published in October 2015 by Sourcebooks. When not working on future history books, Derek is a frequent contributor to the online Journal of the American Revolution.

Hardback. Etat : Fair. The United States was creeping ever closer to independence. The shot heard round the world still echoed in the ears of Parliament as impassioned revolutionaries took up arms for and against King and country. In this captivating blend of careful research and rich narrative, Derek W. Beck continues his exploration into the period preceding the Declaration of Independence, just days into the new Revolutionary War. The War Before Independence transports readers into the violent years of 1775 and 1776, with the infamous Battle of Bunker Hill - a turning point in the Revolution - and the snowy, wind-swept march to the frozen ground at the Battle of Quebec, ending with the exciting conclusion of the Boston Campaign. Meticulous research and new material drawn from letters, diaries, and investigative research throws open the doors not only to familiar figures and faces, but also little-known triumphs and tribulations of America's greatest military leaders, including George Washington. Wonderfully detailed and stunningly layered, The War Before Independence brings America's early upheaval to a ferocious boil on both sides of the battlefield, and vividly captures the spirit of a fight that continues to inspire brave hearts today.
