Description:
New book, 310 pages. As the history books would have it, from 1775 to 1783, a young America struggled to free herself from British rule, fighting for the right to determine her own destiny. But is this really what happened? This new book contends that the American 'War of Independence' was actually a revolution which disguised opportunism and greed as high political principle. Using eye-witness accounts and the latest scholarship, he has assembled a powerful collection of evidence. Bicheno uncovers some striking examples of American division and equivocation. The reality was that as many American remained loyal to the British crown as rebelled; Native American and African slaves overwhelmingly favoured the British; ultimately, by the end of the war, there were more 'Americans' in the British Army than served under George Washington.
