From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up-This is not the place to look for a history of battles, biographies of who-did-what, or Colonial anecdotes. Instead, The American Revolution contains 16 essays by well-known historians that center on the background, politics, and effects of the war. There is an extensive section of documents (Stamp Act resolutions, excerpts from first-person accounts, Articles of Confederation, etc.). An excellent resource for research.-Linda Beck, Indian Valley Public Library, Telford, PA Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information, Inc. Review "There's a lot of material packed in here, but the brief annotation and summary of each article will help students decide where they want to start their research or reading. An appendix of primary source documents brings in the voices of the time." --
