Why We Won: The American Revolution - Softcover

We are all a part of history. History has shaped who we are, where we are, and how we view the rest of the world. Americans, in particular, have a closeness with the recent past. Sadly, history is often presented as lists of facts - names, dates, places - which are necessary but sterile without the human tapestry upon which they are woven: the "Why" of history. This book examines that tapestry at the time of the American Revolution. The successful revolt of the thirteen British colonies in North America is one of the major events in the history of humanity. It's also a rich drama full of heroism, intrigue, and the personalities that define the human experience. I hope you enjoy as you ponder "Why we won."
