In largely chronological order, this volume describes the trajectory of the American War of Independence from its roots to its end through hundreds of contemporary caricatures and other pictorial evidence. Each of the illustrations is explained in its meaning by a caption, while the main text describes the historical background. The reasons for the Revolution, the events in New York and New Jersey in 1776, the role of the Germans and French in the war, the war in the frontier areas, the generals, and the American and British armies are just some of the topics covered.
