THEATERS of the AMERICAN REVOLUTION, Northern, Middle, Southern, Western, Naval Edited by James Kirby Martin and David L. Preston. Hardbound, 252 pages, 6”x9”. Identifying geographical areas in order to understand a conflict that covers hundreds of thousands of square miles is an approach that has been used from the American Civil War through modern conflicts. The authors take this approach with the American Revolution for the first time. The result is a stimulating volume that will allow the reader to see how the war flowed from region to region from 1775 to 1781, beginning in the Northern colonies and Canada, through the dark months in the Middle colonies to a shift to the South and culmination at Yorktown. Simultaneously, the war raged up and down the western frontier and at sea. This book provides an ideal introduction to understanding the American Revolution.             No. 703475
