They're all part of the amazing story of the American Revolution. Entire books have been written about the causes of the American Revolution. This isn't one of them. What it is, instead, is utterly interesting, ancedotes (John Hancock fixates on salmon), from the inside out (at the Battle of Eutaw Springs, hundreds of soldiers plunged into battle naked as they were born) close-up narratives filled with little-known details, lots of quotes that capture the spirit and voices of the principals (If need be, I will raise one thousand men, subsist them at my own expense, and march myself at their head for the relief of Boston --George Washington), and action.
