Synopsis
This book explores the American Revolution by weaving together two distinct but interconnected narratives: the political decisions of the Continental Congress and the military campaigns on Long Island and Manhattan. It argues that these political and military experiences were two sides of a single story, influencing each other and experienced as one by the participants. The book highlights key figures like John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and the British Howe brothers, contending that a complete understanding of the revolution requires examining both fronts simultaneously.
