The American Revolution: 1763-1783

Drama of American History

By: James Lincoln Collier, Christopher Collier

Narrated by: Jim Manchester

The American Revolution examines the people and events involved in the significant war by which the 13 original colonies broke away from England. The authors explain the many sources of conflict between the Americans and the British government, how each side approached the problems, and the results of the escalating violence.

History is dramatic - and the renowned, award-winning authors Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier demonstrate this in the compelling Drama of American History series aimed at young readers. Covering American history from the founding of Jamestown through present day, these volumes explore far beyond the dates and events of a historical chronicle to present a moving illumination of the ideas, opinions, attitudes and tribulations that led to the birth of this great nation.

Critic reviews

"From the initial social and political unrest until the signing of the peace treaty in Paris in 1783, this text gives very interesting accounts from both sides of the ocean. Any instructor can easily integrate this book into the curriculum at the intermediate level and above, thus making history come to life for these students." ( Children's Literature)

War & Peace in the United Colonies of America

I liked the narrators skill in describing the events that shaped the development of the Revolutionary war and what battles made the difference in spite of the fact that General George Washington was out numbered. Were it not for the French to support the American colonies we would not enjoy the independence we have today.

A great introduction to American History

I loved this audio book simply because it was concise, informative, and not too lengthy.

Whoever wants to learn about the history of the US of A should start here and work their way up.

Brief but interesting

History professors take another run at telling stories we all think we know. They do a nice job of getting to the point and describing forces of the day that supported victory.

good summary

it's a good summary of a lot of early American history, but it also leaves a lot out or skipped over.

These are awesome!

I love these history audiobooks! The story and the narration are outstanding. I listen to everyone in this series and some of them multiple times. They are shorter in time length with the longer ones going about two hours, so they are easily digestible even on a long hike, you can squeeze a few in.

Dry as a bone, but important

And it was free! Everyone needs to know or be reminded of this inspiring story of our nation’s founding, and this is a short, succinct version.
