The American Revolutionary War, also known as the American War of Independence, was a significant political and military conflict that took place in the Thirteen Colonies against the British military establishment. While it is often portrayed as a unified uprising of the colonies, Daniel Marston challenges this notion and argues that it actually created deep political divisions within the population. Militarily, the war pitted veterans of the Seven Years' War against each other in a guerrilla campaign that combined guerrilla tactics with traditional 18th-century campaign techniques. The peace treaty of 1783, which ended the war, marked the formal beginning of the United States of America as an independent political entity. This revised and updated edition of the book includes full-color maps and new images, making it a valuable reference resource for academics, students, and anyone with a general interest in the period.
