They’re all part of the amazing story of the American Revolution.\n\nEntire books have been written about the causes of the American Revolution.\nThis isn't one of them.\n\nWhat it is, instead, is utterly interesting, ancedotes (John Hancock fixates on salmon), from the inside out (at the Battle of Eutaw Springs, hundreds of soldiers plunged into battle \"naked as they were born\") close-up narratives filled with little-known details, lots of quotes that capture the spirit and voices of the principals (\"If need be, I will raise one thousand men, subsist them at my own expense, and march myself at their head for the relief of Boston\" --George Washington), and action. It's the story of the birth of our nation, complete with soldiers, spies, salmon sandwiches, and real facts you can't help but want to tell to everyone you know.\n\n“For middle-graders who find Joy Hakim’s 11-volume A History of US just too daunting, historian Sheinkin offers a more digestible version of our country’s story...The author expertly combines individual stories with sweeping looks at the larger picture―tucking in extracts from letters, memorable anecdotes, pithy characterizations and famous lines with a liberal hand.”―Kirkus Reviews\n\nAlso by Steve Sheinkin:\n\nBomb: The Race to Build―and Steal―the World's Most Dangerous Weapon\nThe Notorious Benedict Arnold: A True Story of Adventure, Heroism \u0026amp; Treachery\nThe Port Chicago 50: Disaster, Mutiny, and the Fight for Civil Rights\nUndefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team\nMost Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam War\nWhich Way to the Wild West?: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About Westward Expansion\nTwo Miserable Presidents: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the Civil War\nBorn to Fly: The First Women's Air Race Across America\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250075777\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.1250075777.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sheinkin, Steve|Robinson, Tim\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
