Few events in world history occupy as expansive a stage as the American Revolution; few feature as many figures representing different nations. This work provides a clear insight into the changing settings and the sequence of events that unfold within them. It identifies the laws according to which things had to unfold as they did, and where the most significant events had to take place in the locations they did. The sources include long-known American, English, German, and French works. The Publishing House of Sciences publishes historical literature by both well-known and lesser-known scholarly authors, making previously out-of-print works accessible again to interested readers.
