A Guide to America's Revolutionary War in Question and Answer Format Mark Phillips

If you've ever found American history boring or hard to understand, this book is for you. Inside, a bright, curious student poses questions about the American Revolution-such as "One if by land and two if by sea? How could the Redcoats come by land when there's no land between England and America?"-and a kind, knowledgeable teacher answers them. Nothing escapes the student's inquisitive mind, and the teacher is endlessly patient. Originally published as a section of the author's larger "Conversations in Early American History: 1492-1837" (later retitled "American History from Christopher Columbus to Andrew Jackson in Easy Question and Answer Format") this paperback edition clearly explains the causes of the Revolutionary War, describes the key battles, outlines the peace settlement, and profiles the heroes of the Revolution.
