In this companion, Greene and Pole utilize the most successful chapters from the "Blackwell Encyclopaedia of the American Revolution" and build on them to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date source of information for all teachers and students of American history. Ninety articles by key historians cover all aspects of the Revolution, providing a detailed chronology of events and analyzing the internal character and consequences of the Revolution both in detail and in depth. Tracing the war's far-reaching repercussions from the Caribbean to Russia, the editors view it as a major event in world history and provide an international perspective on the periods before, during and after the conflict.
