First Edition
Hard Back. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Hess, Richard - Jacket Illustration (illustrator). First Edition Stated. 347 Pages Indexed. Attractive colorful endpaper maps. Dust jacket price clipped and has some minor edge wear. On November 16 1776 a ship flying the red-and-white-striped flag of the Continental Congress entered the port of St. Eustatius in the West Indies. Adhering to custom on entering a foreign port, the ship fired a salute, and the guns of the island's fort returned a ritual response. This act of recognition acknowledged that the vessel and its flag represented a legitimate nation. It was the first official salute to the United States of America, and although it took only minutes to carry out, it would have the most profound repercussions through the events of the next five years. In this masterful study Barbara Tuchman shows the ways in which not only America and England were affected by the Revolution, but Holland and France, and, by extension, the entire Old World as well. She appraises the political, emotional, and geographical imperatives at work for each of the warring forces during the long, ragged years of conflict. She analyzes the rivalries that determined Europe's crucial role in the American struggle, the centuries-long animosity between England and France, Holland's defiance of England's ban on aid to the Colonials, and demonstrates how, in coming to the aid of the Americans, England's enemies made the triumph of American independence possible. Chapter titles such as The French Intervention, Low Point of the Revolution, The Critical Moment, and Last Chance-The Yorktown Campaign. She recasts America's tumultuous nascent years and broading our understanding of the essential circumstances and events surrounding what was not only the birth of our own nation but the beginning, as well, of the modern Western world. Sixteen pages of illustrations, 8in full color, and 6 maps.
