This book would be a great addition to a social studies classroom when discussing the American Revolution. It is an overview of the American Revolution beginning with the unrest in the colonies. The book includes photographs and historical documents that would be helpful for students conducting

research on specific aspects of the American Revolution. The book is broken into short sections, sometimes only a page, which summarize each battle and important event. I especially liked the short pages of information on the loyalists and the American patriots. The information helped students understand these two groups better than the social studies textbook. Each section also includes a "Quick Facts" box that gives interesting information and historical quotes on the topic of the section. The addition of a glossary at the back of the book was useful for students who were researching information and may not have known what an emissary or a siege was for example. The book is very appealing in its layout and illustrations/photographs. Show Less
