The Blackwell Encyclopedia of the American Revolution

Rating:
Summary: Not an encyclopedia and very little depth on the War.
Review: This book should be called "Sociological essays on the era of the Revolutionary War." It is not arranged as an encyclopedia and has relatively little material on the Revolutionary War. You will not find the words "regiment" or "battle" in the index, and a search for date-specific material will be nearly fruitless. Less than a third of the 34-page poorly arranged parallel-stream "timeline" concerns the period 1775-1783. If you want specific material on the Revolutionary War, look elsewhere.
