I'm tempted to say it's not as good as his [book:A Short History of World War II|8915], but that may be because I'm much more well-read on WWII, and have read through the WWII book more. But this is still an excellent single volume history of the American Revolution. I appreciate Stokesbury portraying the causes prior to the beginning of the war, as well as the conclusions following the end of the war. Prior to reading this, I had never really understood all the complexities of the American Revolution, nor understood the world-wide implications. I have the feeling that Americans have forgotten much of what was once common knowledge about our beginnings. This book is an excellent introduction to much of what has been lost.

The first one-volume survey of the American Revolution that is both objective and comprehensive, this outstanding narrative history traces the growth of a conflict that inexorably set the American colonies on the road to independence. Offering a spirited chronicle of the war itself -- the campaigns and strategies, the leaders on both sides, the problems of fielding and sustaining an army, and of maintaining morale -- Stokesbury also brings the reader to the Peace of Paris in 1783 and into the miltarily exhausted, financially ruined yet victorious United States as it emerged to create a workable national system.
