"Angel in the Whirlwind "is the epic tale of the American
Revolution, from its roots among tax-weary colonists to the
triumphant Declaration of Independence and eventual victory and
liberty, recounted by Benson Bobrick, lauded by "The New York Times
"as "perhaps the most interesting historian writing in America
today." Overwhelmed with debt following its victory in the French
and Indian Wars, England began imposing harsh new tariffs and taxes
on its colonists in the 1760s. Rebellion against these measures
soon erupted into war. Bobrick thrillingly describes all the major
battles, from Lexington and Concord to the dramatic siege of
Yorktown, when the British flag was finally lowered before patriot
guns. At the same time he weaves together social and political
history along with the military history, bringing to life not only
the charismatic leaders of the independence movement, but also
their lesser-known compatriots, both patriot and loyalist, English
and American, whose voices vividly convey the urgency of war.
Illuminated by fresh insight, "Angel in the Whirlwind "is a
dramatic narrative of our nation's birth, in all its passion and
glory.
