Résumé
"American history as if from a barstool, not a lecture podium. Giddy, rollicking, and bold." -Ilyon Woo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Master Slave Husband Wife"Accessible and impassioned entry to anyone interested in understanding the nation's founding from a dazzling, kaleidoscopic perspective. " -Ned Blackhawk, National Book Award-winning author of The Rediscovery of America A prize-winning historian's fascinating and unfamiliar recasting of America's war of independence as a transformative international eventIn this revelatory and enthralling book, award-winning historian Richard Bell reveals the full breadth and depth of America's founding event.
The American Revolution was not only the colonies' triumphant liberation from the rule of an overbearing England; it was also a cataclysm that pulled in participants from around the globe and threw the entire world order into chaos. Repositioning the Revolution at the center of an international web, Bell's narrative ranges as far afield as India, Africa, Central America, and Australia. As his lens widens, the "War of Independence" manifests itself as a sprawling struggle that upended the lives of millions of people on every continent and fundamentally transformed the way the world works, disrupting trade, restructuring penal systems, stirring famine, and creating the first global refugee crisis.
Bell conveys the impact of these developments at home and abroad by grounding the narrative in the gripping stories of individuals-including women, minorities, and other disenfranchised people. The result is an unforgettable and unexpected work of American history that shifts everything we thought we knew about our creation story.
