Revolutionary People at War: The Continental Army and American Character, 1775-1783

by Charles Royster

Revolutionary People at War: The Continental Army and American Character, 1775-1783 Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this highly acclaimed book, Charles Royster explores the mental processes and emotional crises that Americans faced in their first national war. He ranges imaginatively outside the traditional techniques of analytical historical exposition to build his portrait of how individuals and a populace at large faced the Revolution and its implications.

Review:

Represents a quantum leap in our understanding of the Revolution.

Edmund S. Morgan, New Republic

Review:

It is a work of art. . . . No student of early American history should miss it.
