In Their Own Words

Praised as a lively and engaging invitation to early American history (Ian K. Steele author of Warpaths) and a valuable addition to the literature of the American Iliad (James M. McPherson bestselling author of Battle Cry of Freedom) the In Their Own Words series takes readers into the hearts and minds of those who lived history.In this latest--and final--addition to the series historian T.J. Stiles brings to life in vivid detail the dramatic events of the Revolutionary War skillfully interweaving his fast-paced narrative with the words of those who fought for our right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. From the first rumblings of rebellion to the full-throated call-to-arms from the provocative debates to the battlefields this impressive volume includes first-hand stories and commentaries from our Founding Fathers--John Adams Samuel Adams Thomas Jefferson Alexander Hamilton George Washington and Thomas Paine--as well as American and British soldiers.
