A summary of the review on StrategyPage.Com
'Spero, Director of the American Philosophical Society, and Prof. Zuckerman (Penn, emeritus) have collected more than a dozen papers that break new ground in our understanding of the American Revolution, most of which are rather contrary to the accepted Patriot version of events. The essays fall into four categories, “Civil Wars”, on the problems of those who chose Toryism or just wanted to be left alone; “Wider Horizons”, on the Colonies within the larger British community; “New Directions”, unusual subjects or methodologies that throw new light on the events, such as the problem of procuring saltpetre; and “Legacies,” on the Revolution’s effects. Several subjects come up more than once, such as slavery and the slave trade, and religious organization and influences. This is an important work primarily for those seriously interested in the American revolution.'
