美国独立战争简史:1775-1783,一场造就了美国的战争

Rate this book
美国独立战争是一场反对大英帝国殖民统治的战争,也是一场为美国未来而战的世界性战争。
北美殖民地通过1776年的《独立宣言》对这场战争进行了理论上的定性,从而使得它具有了某种神话色彩。从波士顿倾茶事件,到保罗·列维尔骑着马去提醒新英格兰人防备英国红衫军的入侵;从美国人在邦克山战役所遭受的苦痛,到最终在约克镇击败英国,整个斗争现在已经成了美国民族身份的象征。
斯蒂芬·康威则证明,这场斗争不仅仅只是一个神话故事,而且也不仅仅只是一个局部冲突:相反,它是法国和英国之间的一场规模庞大的斗争。13个殖民地不过是一个巨大的战场中的一条战线而已。在这个巨大的战场上,英国、法国、西班牙、荷兰,每一个超级帝国都希望能够获得最大的殖民受益。
这本大胆的新历史著作,出色呈现了一场残酷的美国革命战争,同时也展现了将它纳入欧洲强权之间更大范围的全球战争视角之下的宏大战争画卷。

Learned a lot, but it was a tough read. Couldn’t really get into it.

"The Revolutionary War" was an insightful read into the revolutionary war. Conway presents the war through the eyes of minority groups that were left out of the official narrative. The book lays out the war in an easy to read and understand kind of way. Overall, a very good read!
