Best history book ever written on the battles of the Revolutionary War

I did not realize that any history on the battles of our own revolutionary war could be written in a way that made it so interesting and insightful. Theodore Savas and David Dameron have compiled a book that is absolutely second to none in this genre. The book is simply called “A Guide To The Battles Of The American Revolution,” however, what is inside their book is anything but simple. It is packed with facts and data and told in a narrative that makes for easy reading and understanding.

The authors have created a format that will make any history buff salivate in pure joy. There are maps of all the battles with great details on them. There are facts about the opposing forces so you understand who had what advantages in manpower or weapons. There is even an analysis of what each army was trying to do and what resulted. This is the kind of book that makes history easily understood. I learned something new on almost every single page of this book and I am very well read on the subject. The research is top notch.

This book is suitable for all readers including teenagers. It is history unlike you have ever read before. The MWSA gives this book our highest rating of FIVE STARS but it is really a TEN STAR accounting of the war!

This book receives this reviewer’s personal endorsement as a must buy and have in your own private book collection! I loved this book!

MWSA is proud to award this book the 2006 Gold Medal Award for a History Book!
