The noblest ideals and aspirations of the peoples of the United
States of America - its commitment to freedom, constitutionality
and equality - came out of the Revolutionary era. The story is a
dramatic one. Thirteen insignificant colonies of His Britannic
Majesty King George III, three thousand miles from the centres of
Western civilization, fought off British rule to become, in fewer
than three decades, a huge, sprawling, rambunctious republic of
nearly four million citizens. It is also a complicated and at times
ironic story that needs to be explained and understood, not blindly
celebrated or condemned. How did this great revolution come about?
What was its character? What were its consequences? These are the
questions this short history seeks to answer. That it succeeds in
such a profound and enthralling way is a tribute to Gordon Wood's
mastery of his subject, and of the historian's craft.
