Description
Has there ever been a more unlikely war than the American Revolution? Why did those thirteen colonies, with nothing resembling a unified and trained army, and with no navy to speak of, believe they could defeat the most powerful nation on the planet? Why was Britain confident it could prevail despite crushing logistical burdens? This new course the American Revolution asks the crucial question: who really deserves the credit for defeating the British army? Was it the Continentals, gamely overcoming all odds? Was it the French, entering on the American side not purely out of friendship but also as a first step in converting Britain's colonies into their own? Alternatively, was it perhaps both of these factors--along with weather, terrain, timing, and sheer luck? Above all, why was the American Revolution really won not in America at all, but in the Caribbean? (THIS IS A SET. Book and DVDs must be checkout together)
