The Men Who Lost America: British Leadership, the American Revolution, and the Fate of the Empire

byAndrew O'Shaugnessy

Focused on british Leadership, the American Revolution, and the Fate of the Empire, The Men Who Lost America brings Andrew O'Shaugnessy's biographical portrait to a complex and consequential subject. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
