The first of a two-part history, Origin Of The American Revolution: 1759-1766 is a cohesive and solid tracing of the events in history leading up to America's revolt and independence. First published a generation ago, and out of print for more than thirty years, Origin Of The American Revolution: 1759-1766 remains as focused, exacting, and to the point today as it was then, with author Bernhard Knollenberg being impressively skilled at tracing political and economic events that made a struggle for independence inevitable. Edited by Bernard W. Sheehan, Origin Of The American Revolution: 1759-1766 is a scholarly, well-constructed and strongly recommended account.
