Riassunto

With magisterial command and an unmatched sense of drama, John Ferling traces the political journey from protest to Revolution. Independence takes readers from the battlefields of Bunker Hill to the cobblestones of Philadelphia and into the halls of Parliament, where furious debate erupted over how to deal with the rebellion. Independence is not only the story of how freedom was won, but how an empire was lost.

Mesmerizing. Masterful. History written with the gravitational pull of a good novel. A history book that deserves to become a big best seller (Dan Rather)

John Ferling has established himself as one of the leading chroniclers of the American Revolution, but Independence goes beyond anything he has written before. (RB Bernstein)
