A People Numerous and Armed: Reflections on the Military Struggle for American Independence - Thryft

Revolutionary America's military struggle illuminated.

If you're into the textures of history, "A People Numerous and Armed" digs deeper than the common narrative of American independence. This read does more than recount battles; it connects the dots between the war's impact on society, politics, and ideas. John Shy ensures you won't just see the American Revolution—you'll understand the fabric of the nation it wove.

Description

Americans like to think of themselves as a peace-loving people, and in remembering their own revolutionary past, American historians have long tended to focus on colonial origins and Constitutional aftermath, neglecting the fact that the American Revolution was a long, hard war. John Shy shifts the focus to the war itself and explores the ways in which the experience was entangled with both the causes and the consequences of the Revolution. This is not a traditional military chronicle of battles and campaigns, but a series of essays that recapture the social, political, and even intellectual dimensions of the military effort that created an American nation.
