Another quality DK book

As always, loaded with photos and illustration. There are some maps and a timeline, a glossary and a Find Out More" section with some web sites and places to visit. My boys love the DK books. I good overview on the subject, but I would definitely combine it with other books/materials to cover the war in more depth.

1765-1783=AMERICAN REVOLUTION

THIS WAS THE GREATEST BOOK I EVER READ AND THE PICTURES WERE SO INTERESTING AND I LOVE HISTORY FROM 4.5 BILLION B.C- 2005 A.D. DK BOOKS ARE THE BEST [...]

Taxation Without Represeentation

The book is non fiction. The plot is that the British are doing taxation without representation in the 1700s. My favorite things in the book are some of the battles it tells about, like the Battle of Long Island. I also like the book because of all the facts it has and all the information. The flag illustrations are cool too. I highly recommend this book for people who like facts and are above age 8.

I learned so much!

This book shows such a variety of artifacts from the Revolutionary War, it's just amazing! All of the photographs and illustrations are very clear and it makes it easy to really understand what things were like back then.
