A school of historians has grown up whose output is mostly the collection of representative contemporary accounts of the subject they are investigating. To me, this school has Henry Steel Commager's "The Blue and the Grey" as its touchstone. George Scheer and Hugh Rankin's effort is shorter, but it does convey the high points reasonably well. The usual mindset of this period is to convey an impression that the "Rebels" are Good and the British were bad!. My mind has often been teased by the concept that "The War of Independence" was a civil war, rather than a righteous uprising. "Rebels and Redcoats" has not much in it for a mind looking for material from that point of view. Pity. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Here is the American Revolution, the epic struggle that brought forth a new nation, told in a great measure by those who fought and lived it: major figures like Washington, Revere, Franklin and many others heretofore unknown. This is a document of the first great war of principle as it felt and sounded to those who were there, making history. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
