The Blackwell Encyclopedia of the American Revolution Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book should be called "Sociological essays on the era of the Revolutionary War." It is not arranged as an encyclopedia and has relatively little material on the Revolutionary War. You will not find the words "regiment" or "battle" in the index, and a search for date-specific material will be nearly fruitless. Less than a third of the 34-page poorly arranged parallel-stream "timeline" concerns the period 1775-1783. If you want specific material on the Revolutionary War, look elsewhere.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These essays are great for the serious student of colonial history, esp. graduate students, although Greene's writing style really needs work.

"Taken together, these essays constitute a better summing up--part critique, part appreciation--than anything else in print of work done in any field of American history. Nowhere else can we learn so easily and so well what to read about colonial America. . . . A very useful volume of considerable distinction".--William Abbott, editor, "The Papers of George Washington".
