This concise, clearly-written volume explains how the Revolutionary War came about, as Britain's American colonies increasingly viewed rule by a king in a faraway country as intolerable. The discussion then focuses on some of the major figures and events of the conflict that ended up creating the infant United States. (20020401)

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Good illustraive material accompanies a clearly written text."
-- School Library Journal (May 2002) (School Library Journal )
"These two titles from the History of the World series offer basic introductory information suitable for middle-school report writers. Both titles make use of relatively large print, short chapters with section headings, and frequent, crisp, mostly color illustrations. These make acceptable choices for larger collections or where demand for these topics is high."

More About the Author
Don Nardo is a historian and award-winning writer who specializes in the ancient world, especially the civilizations of Greece and Rome. He began as a actor and worked with the National Shakespeare Company before turning to writing screenplays and teleplays and, soon afterward, devoting much of his time to historical research and writing. In the past two decades, he has published nearly two hundred volumes on diverse historical topics. And having earned numerous favorable reviews, he is widely recognized as the country's leading writer of historical works for young adults. He is also versed in various other subjects and as a result is frequently asked by publishers to write books on a number of scientific and literary topics.
Mr. Nardo also composes and arranges orchestral music, having started composing in his early teens. Over the years he has turned out more than eighty musical works, including 2 symphonies, 4 string quartets, several concertos, a film score, incidental music for stage productions, and several commissions, the most recent a double concerto for violin and Portuguese guitar written for two noted musicians. He is also the resident composer and arranger for the Amadis Orchestra, based in Connecticut.
