In this compelling narrative, the origins of the American Revolution are vividly portrayed, continuing the saga of how thirteen colonies evolved into a nation. The conflict unfolds from the kingdom and courtroom to the battlefields, revealing a war with uncertain outcomes. Despite their determination, the colonists faced a formidable British army, with General George Washington experiencing significant defeats in Brooklyn and Manhattan before retreating to Pennsylvania.
