The American Revolution: An Intimate History explores how thirteen colonies challenged the British Empire and reshaped the world. Historian Geoffrey C. Ward presents this pivotal conflict as a war for independence, civil war, and global struggle—told through diverse perspectives including soldiers, women, African Americans, Native Americans, and Loyalists. Featuring essays from renowned historians, period artwork, newly commissioned maps, and Thomas Paine's writings, this richly illustrated volume examines who truly gained life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in America's founding.
