Few events in world history occupy such a spacious stage as the American Revolution; few feature as many figures representing various nations. This work provides a clear insight into the changing settings and the sequence of events that unfold there. It allows for the recognition of the laws that dictated how things had to unfold as they did, and why the most significant events occurred precisely in the locations where they had to take place. The sources are the long-established American, English, German, and French works.
