Another Middlekauff book.
28 February 2015What the 21 century Americans can be thankful for.
A comprehensive coverage of the pre-war American politics, and civilian attitudes, as well as the actual war campaigns.

A wonderful, valuable edition to my library.
27 December 2013It's OK but...
It's well written but the war itself is broad-brushed.
25 December 2013A surprisingly bad book
A remarkably poor piece of historiography, this book is chaotically edited, packed with flabby abstractions, and is disappointingly free of original analysis or insight.
28 November 2013An Excellent Political History
An excellent work on the causes of the Revolution, the course of the war, and the formation of the United States after the war was over.
2 January 2012massive, triumphalist narrative that is a bit too sentimental
Given the quality of the other volumes I have read in this outstanding series, I had high expectations for this one: I wanted context, succinct bios, story, and analysis.
10 July 2010Do not mistake for an introductory text.
To get a little background out of the way first, let me state that the highest credentials I possess in historical studies are a minor in History and a love of the genre.

Middlekauff's book is a great narrative history of the American war for independence.
