Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Tuchman's (d. 1989) dense but accessible narrative of the American Revolution focuses on the war's military and political aspects and adeptly examines its impact. Six of Tuchman's earlier nonfiction works are also available from Blackstone Audio, three of them read by this title's pseudonymous narrator, Audie Award winner Nadia May, who here delivers an expert performance.
