The Revolution true history of the American Revolution review
A critical look at Sydney George Fisher's book The Revolution the True History of the American Revolution. The reviewer highlights Fisher’s claim that colonists pursued independence with long simmering intent, uneven British taxation, and widespread smuggling. It notes contested views on Howe's errors, Loyalist strength, and depictions of Washington, Arnold, and Gates.
