Book Synopsis



This revised and updated edition of The American Revolution offers an accessible and authoritative account of the war that forged a nation.

From the first sparks of rebellion to the final treaty, this comprehensive visual history charts the key battles, political tensions, and personal stories that shaped the United States. Discover how events like the Boston Massacre, the Declaration of Independence, and the surrender at Yorktown unfolded with vivid artworks, first-hand accounts, and timelines that bring clarity to every phase of the conflict.

Fully revised and updated, and produced in association with the Smithsonian Institute, The American Revolution is packed with information on the course of the battle and locations of particular importance, with detailed coverage of related topics such as the treatment of wounded soldiers and the experience of Native Americans, providing a rich and detailed account of one of the most controversial conflicts ever fought.

In this book, you will find:

  • More than 500 images, including dramatic paintings of battles and galleries of weapons, equipment, and other artefacts
  • First-hand accounts of the conflict from soldiers and civilians alike
  • Fascinating biographies of important figures - from George Washington to Alexander Hamilton
  • Detailed coverage of broader subjects, such as contemporary political ideas and the impact of the war on the home front

Publishing in 2026, ahead of America 250 - the 250th anniversary of the founding of the USA -alongside DK's The American Civil War and The History of the USA Year by Year, this is the ultimate guide to a pivotal period in world history.
