Reseña del editor

A dramatic, epic narrative of the American RevolutionA disparate group of settlers, spread from New England to Georgia, agreed on little in the mid-eighteenth century. This fascinating history tells the story of how they eventually conquered a common enemy, England, while it reminds us how divided the colonies were, how close they came to defeat, and how magnificent their achievement was.Filled with lively evocations of the dynamic people and culture of the time, Angel in the Whirlwind traces the deterioration in relations between the American colonies and England while profiling Washington, Franklin, and other influential figures. Many voices add to the authenticity of Bobrick's account: English and American, patriot and loyalist, soldier and civilian. From major battles such as Lexington, Concord, and Bunker Hill to the climactic siege of Yorktown when the British flag of empire was finally lowered before patriot guns, the American Revolution comes alive with thrilling intensity on every page.
