What Was the Revolutionary War All About?
Author John Micklos, Jr., takes readers through an overview of the American Revolution, from the Stamp Acts and "the shot heard 'round the world'" to George Washington's election as the first president of the United States. Micklos presents the highlights of the Revolutionary War in a clear, interesting, easy-to-understand manner that will hold the reader's attention to the end.
* Reviews *
Although some of the same information is touched upon in both titles, the amount of detail differs. The books each contain five chapters of straightforward, sequential text, a scattering of sidebars, and a time line. They are liberally illustrated with portraits, reproductions of paintings and portions of documents, and detailed maps. These titles have less coverage of African Americans and womens involvement in the war than Daniel Rosens Independence Now (National Geographic, 2004), but they include more events and people, giving them a slight edge for reports., School Library Journal January 2009
