This book was interesting, but for me it was too slow and repetitive. I appreciated certain facets of the historical scholarship, but I would not want to read it again.

Very concise and interesting introduction to the theme. The American Revolution was fundamental in its time, along with the French Revolution, in what would be a tremondous shift in world politics, and people's liberties and rigths. The fight between Absolute Monarchies and Liberalism would lead to those two revolutions. And a whole country would be founded upon liberal values, with the Declaration of Independence: "All men are created equal", the abosolute rule of the King forever cast away, and men no longer seen as mere subjects. This book shows how complex the American Revolution was, what made it ignite, and who enabled it.
