Wonderful book on the American Revolution...I remember the little I was taught during history, and it was so generic, you basically came out not knowing anything. I do remember that very little was said about how much effort the French gave us. Not only did we get Lafayette, but so many prestigious generals and admirals, and so many ships and cash came to us from France. I never realized the amount of help we were given by them. We may have saved their butts during WWI and WWII, but we wouldn't exist as a nation without the French. I definitely think our history books should reflect this.Lancaster's writing of important battles really helped to make things more clear in my mind as to what happened. I didn't realize how the French basically cut off any chance for the British to retreat from Yorktown. The trouble with this book is it whet my appetite for more information...which is what good history books tend to do. I already started another book on Washington because of this book. My biggest complaint is at least on the Kindle version of the book, there were no maps to look at which I would have appreciated. So I will just go look for some other books that have maps!
But a very good first read on the Revolution. We need to remember what we fought or in this day and age!

American Heritage History of the American Revolution (Audible Audio Edition) Bruce Lancaster Paul Boehmer a Division of Recorded Books HighBridge Books Reviews
Received item in excellent condition. Exactly what I was looking for in researching the revolution. Nice detail and well illustrated throughout. Well worth the price.
Excellent coverage of much of the background of the many areas of the Revolution. Tying everything together made a lot of sense of disparate parts. Wish this was taught in schools!
My discontent with this version is its complete lack of the usual superb AH graphics. No maps, no photos, no illustrations, nothing but text. The historical craft and writing style of the author are good--thus one star rather than none--but I would not have bought the version had I known of the omission.
Like most one volume histories published by American Heritage author Lancaster does a great job presenting a lot of information digestible form. Informative for the casual reader and enjoyable for the true history buff.
I have read much about the Revolution, but this short history helped to clarify many of the causes of the Revolution, and the circumstances that helped the Americans to win a victory over a powerful enemy. I would recommend this book to every patriotic citizen, and to every one who needs a shot of patriotism.

As a senior citizen, my earliest memories of public school American History could best be characterized as sketchy as stone soup. Various battles were headlined with few details on who led the revolutionary forces, and what the significance of victory or defeat in a particular battle might have on the race for independence. The details provided by the author were very informative, and also very alarming. More than once, it appeared as if our forebears were down and out. Truly revolutionary for me.
Highly readable account. A great primer with lots of detail.
The only fault is that the version has no art, pictures or maps to keep bring it fully alive. Still, a very good read for those wanting a good history lesson for those important years.
