Summary

"Adapted from Pulitzer Prize-winner Rick Atkinson's deeply researched and stunningly vivid The British Are Coming, the young readers edition explores these questions and so much more as it delves into the American Revolution. A collection of key battles from the beginning of the war, including Lexington and Concord and the Battle of Bunker Hill, sets the scene, telling a story of liberation fraught with contradiction and intrigue." -- Amazon.com"A young readers edition of Rick Atkinson's The British Are Coming"--, Provided by publisher
