PAPERBACK, very good. BROWN, ROBERT ELDON. Carl Becker on history and the American Revolution. East Lansing, Michigan: The Spartan Press, 1970, vi, 285pp., . For the past fifteen years or more there has been a sharp controversy among historians of the American Revolutionary Era over how this period of American history should be interpreted.
