Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The investigation into the American Revolution from the British perspective reveals a series of political missteps that led to the loss of the colonies. Utilizing primary sources like personal letters and political documents, Cook highlights the internal strife within Britain and the powerful opposition figures, such as William Pitt and Edmund Burke, whose eloquent speeches failed to sway the necessary votes. Key events, including King George's military decisions and pivotal negotiations, illustrate the complexities of the conflict and the rebels' resistance against British political attitudes.
