Review Quotes: "A history of the events surrounding the American Revolution, but it is not like any history you were likely to have been taught back in high school...All the significant players are accounted for...They just aren't quite the noble selfless characters that graced the pages of my high school history book...Unger's narrative is eminently readable. And if you can read what he has to say without gritting your teeth in patriotic fury, you may find yourself on the way to the library to see what some of the other modern scholars have to say about the period." The Federal Lawyer, July 2012
"[Unger] details the Colonies' move to independence in a coherent and convincing narrative...There is a lot of history, and a lot of detail, in this relatively short volume, which remains exciting though the outcome is not in doubt."
Portland Book Review, 5/22/12
"Unger captures the spirit of pre-Revolutionary America."
Curled Up with a Good Book, 9/3/12"A definitive account of this renowned incident of American history...An interesting read."
