Originally published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture in Williamsburg, this sweeping political history examines America's transformation from colony to republic during the Revolutionary War. The "New York Times Book Review" hailed it as "one of the half dozen most important books ever written about the American Revolution." This latest edition includes a preface on republicanism by the Pulitzer Prize-winning American history professor Gordon S. Wood.  (USE79, $25.00)
