Winning Independence: The Decisive Years of the Revolutionary War, 1778-1781

byJohn Ferling

From celebrated historian John Ferling, the underexplored history of the second half of the Revolutionary War, when, after years of ­fighting, American independence often seemed beyond reach. Drawing on archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, the narrative gives Winning Independence a concrete sense of time, place, and consequence. Across the book, the decisive years of the revolutionary war, 1778-1781 becomes a way to examine power, adaptation, responsibility, and change within history. Winning Independence ultimately offers a nuanced guide to the evidence, the human stakes, and the consequences that make this subject worth revisiting.
