A COUNTRY IS BORN by Sidney Lens

A COUNTRY IS BORN

By

Publisher: Putnam

Yet another narrative of the American Revolution, this one treats the War in terms of its relation to the flow of historical events rather than as an isolated incident. The author traces the economic, social, and political occurrences which led to revolt, and then provides a detailed description of the battles of the Revolution and their effects on the developments within the Colonies. By placing the Revolution in historical perspective, this competently written account will be of interest to readers and will help prepare them for more sophisticated analyses.
