Synopsis

Featuring maps and illustrations throughout, this compact volume provides an engaging account of the events that sparked the American Revolution.

The British assault on Breeds Hill and the burning of Charlestown were the first major battles of the American Revolution; after the events at Boston there was no turning back. Colonist militia were pitted against British Redcoats in a series of struggles which led the British to evacuate Boston and to George Washington taking command of the fledgling American army.

This detailed text by Brendan Morrissey explores the opposing commanders and forces involved, whilst describing how the sparks at Lexington and Concord ignited the smouldering resentment of the Colonists into the flame of a rebellion.
