Riassunto:

In this work the path to Washington's war is documented by British caricatures of politicians and generals, for the most part favourable to the Colonists. Washington, the hero, is spared, although there are surprising and dark elements to the American victory illustrated in the book.

Recensione: 'The book is compulsive utterly absorbing ... Caricature, I realise, is a great indicator of how the winds of public sympathy (and hostility) were blowing: a window into that most evanescent of things, the way it felt at the time.' --Matthew Parris, The Times

'Baker offers us a first-rate collection which shows the vigour and variety of contemporary caricatures, and his commentary is rewarding.' --Jeremy Black
