O knihe

Warren's spectacularly detailed account of the American War of Independence remains an authoritative, much-read source on the subject: this edition contains all three volumes, complete with notes.

First published in 1805, when memories of the Revolutionary War were fresh in the minds of many Americans, Mercy Otis Warren's history became a sensation for its intense detail and depth. Aiming to give a precise, blow by blow account of the War of Independence, Warren ventures through the major turning points of the conflict. She takes us from the many causes of the Revolution itself, through the principle battles, to the eventual surrender and defeat of the British, and the establishment of the USA.

Warren personally lived through the entire conflict, and was good friends with several of the men who were to become the Founding Fathers of the United States. Her connections, assertive nature and prominent place in the nascent colonial society allowed Warren to publish a number of works which were popular.
