Review by John from The United States | 1/25/2011

Starts out a little dry and doesn't hesitate to be overly cynical about some of the events during the revolution. But as it goes on, Wood does a great job of explaining why the American Revolution was such a unique experience.

Review by Chris from The United States | 10/3/2010

Great recap of the revolutionary struggle...not much detail due to the amount of material but very solid nonetheless!
