American Revolution

The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789 (Oxford History of the United States) The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789 by Robert Middlekauff


My review


rating: 4 of 5 stars
Thorough. Fine one-book overview of theories and events of the American Revolution. There are much better books that focus on specific events and theories, but this covers most of the basics well. It's supposedly a re-release of an older book, but there isn't too much new scholarship included in it. Perhaps a shame as there have been some great books published over the past 10+ years on the Revolution.
