Description

The Cause: The American Revolution and its Discontents, 1773-1783 Joseph J Ellis offers a gripping account of the American Revolution, revealing a war that was brutal and disorienting, with clashing ideologies that continue to shape our modern era. Ellis draws on previously untapped sources to bring the story to vivid life, weaving together the military and political story of the war from all sides. From the end of the Seven Years' War to 1783, Ellis interweaves action-packed tales of North American military campaigns with parlor-room intrigues back in England, creating a thrilling narrative that brings together familiar and long-forgotten characters. This epic history recovers a war that has been debated by historians for centuries, shedding new light on the roots, provenance, and meaning of America's revolutionary era. With its surprising relevance for our modern era, The Cause is a compelling and engaging history that sheds new light on the American founding.
