Synopsis The War for America by : Piers Mackesy
The events of the American Revolution signified by Lexington, Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, Saratoga, and Yorktown are familiar to American readers. Far less familiar is the fact that, for the British, the American colonies were only one front in a world war. England was also pitted against France and Spain. Not always in command of the seas and threatened with invasion, England tried grimly for eight years to subdue its rebellious colonies; to hold Canada, the West Indies, India, and Gibraltar; and to divide its European enemies. In this vivid history Piers Mackesy views the American Revolution from the standpoint of the British government and the British military leaders as they attempted to execute an overseas war of great complexity. Their tactical response to the American Revolution is now comprehensible, seen as part of a grand imperial strategy.

Synopsis The War of American Independence 1775-1783 by : Stephen Conway
In 1775, thirteen of George III's North American colonies fiercely and famously rebelled. Localized at first, the trouble spread and eventually took on the character of a world war. By 1783, Britain had been forced to acknowledge the loss of these colonies and a new polity--the United States of America--was born. Conway examines the causes of the conflict and develops an understanding of the war itself that is both global and contemporary. He places the Anglo-American struggle in its broadest possible context by taking account of its Caribbean, European, Indian, and even African dimensions.

Synopsis Iron Tears by : Stanley Weintraub
America fought to gain independence from British colonial power between 1763 and 1783. It wasn't just a battle won by American revolutionaries. It was also lost by the British. Combining fascinating scenes of dissent in domestic British politics with graphic descriptions of the war in America, Weintraub's narrative is a page-turning story of military and political misfortune. As George Washington managed to hold his ragged and overmatched Continental army together and create a nation, his opponents -- principally King George III and his prime minister, Lord North -- themselves faced increasing resistance to the war's brutality and costs. Their opponents in Parliament and the press gradually turned pacifist and sympathetic to the Americans, and were unwilling to bear the costs of the Empire in America. As the tide turned on the battlefield, the 'iron tears' of muskets and cannon shed by the redcoats were matched by tearful protests in London.

Synopsis Spanish Observers and the American Revolution, 1775-1783 by : Light Townsend Cummins
A traditional rival of Great Britain, Spain welcomed the American Revolution as an opportunity to weaken the power and prestige of the British Empire. Using research from Spanish archival sources, this study attempts to bring a new perspective to Spanish involvement in the British colonies during the period. It traces the mobilization by the Captain General of Cuba and his military subordinate, the Governor of Louisiana, of a loose network of observers who monitored the course of the revolt. The observers, positioned throughout the colonies and at other vantage points in the Americas, provided information to the Spanish government about the nature of the rebellion and its participants. Such reports directly influenced Spanish policy toward Britain and its American colonies.
