Editorial Reviews

...does a good job of outlining in a clear way the key events that led up to the Revolutionary War - beginning with the tensions left over from the French and Indian Wars and ending with the the Boston Tea Party and the Boston Massacre. Broken down into five easy to follow chapters, it is an engaging and informative introduction to the Revolutionary War. . . .this is a fresh take on a well-covered topic and would be a welcome addition to the 900s.
