How did the United States become the country it is today? What led to
its creation?
Adapted from Pulitzer Prize-winner Rick Atkinson's deeply researched and
stunningly vivid The British Are Coming, the young readers edition
explores these questions and so much more as it delves into the American
Revolution. A collection of key battles from the beginning of the war,
including Lexington and Concord and the Battle of Bunker Hill, sets the
scene, telling a story of liberation fraught with contradiction and
intrigue.
History buffs and newcomers alike will be drawn into this fascinating,
photo-illustrated account.
