This book takes a rather sharp needle to an era of history that has, probably with good reason, become more legend than actual knowledge. We Americans treasure a certain mythic story line about the Revolution and the people who fought in it. It's been taught to us in school, shown on TV, and referenced by politicians of every stripe.What this book does, and does it well, is strip those myths away. This isn't to say that this bashes America, Americans, or any particular group, but it does go to great lengths to show that the Revolution came as a surprise to many, even those who normally could be considered in charge of it. Great Britain was not the tyrannical bad guy as often made out to be, but rather a government who failed to heed what was happening. If anything, what surprised me the most about this book was just how NOT inevitable the Revolution was. Hindsight being 20/20 and all that, but many times I was reading and thinking 'If they had just stepped back...' What a difference that would have made to history.As said, this shows the fledgling country for what it was, disunited, prideful, religious, secular, strong, weak, and with factions that more often than not got in the way of doing what was best for the country instead of helping it, but each convinced that what they were doing WAS the best. Everyone else though... If anything can be taken away from this book, besides a good understanding on just how we got started, it's the lesson that many of the same problems that now beset the United States of America in 2015 that everyone is currently convinced will be the end of us, were more than present in 1776 at the beginning of us. Depending on how you look at it, that could be a good, or a bad, thing.

An excellent account of how the colonies decided to break away from Great Britain and form the United States of America. Middlekauff gives a lot of detail on the beginnings of the Revolution and what was motivating the Americans. While I'd say he has a bit of a bias towards the Americans, he does a great job of explaining the mindsets on both sides of the Atlantic. He explains how the postures taken by both sides eventually led to independence.I'd say the weakest part of the book for me was simply the battles of the war. They weren't poorly written or anything, just not as interesting as the motivations for independence or what happened after the war was won.And the final chapters on the creation of the Constitution were very good; I only wish they were even more details here, as it is a fascinating time. The Articles of Confederation are covered, but not in any great detail, but well enough to understand their failures.All in all, an excellent overview of the time. It certainly helped me understand how the Americans valued liberty and freedom and how that differed from what the British conception of Americans was. I would highly recommend it to any one who wishes to know more about the American Revolutionary era.

The Glorious Cause: The American Revolution, 1763-1789 by Robert Middlekauff is a long book, but well worth reading. It’s comprehensive and detailed. It is well documented with footnotes. It also has excellent bibliography section with information for further reading. It’s not a political history or a military history of the war, it incorporates both. It doesn’t just tell you what happened during the American Revolution, it tells you why it happened. A considerable portion of the book, almost 1/3 of it, covers the years preceding the Revolution and explains not only what brought British Colonists to come to the decision to break away from the British Empire, but what caused the British Government to make the decisions that pushed the colonists to the breaking point. Additionally, Middlekauff covers the years immediately after the Revolution, explaining the Constitutional Convention, the deliberations and negotiations within it, and the subsequent ratification process.This is the best overview of the American Revolution that I’ve read. I don’t see how you could possibly get any more detailed without turning it into a multi-volume work (it’s already part of a multi-volume set – the Oxford History of the United States). The only thing I would have liked to have seen was bit more inclusion of the Spanish involvement in the American Revolution, but other than that it’s hard to find anything negative about this book. For anyone wanting an in-depth look at the why, what, and how of the American Revolution, this is the book. Anyone with an interest in US History should add it to their reading list.

Excellent book and well written overall. Gives comprehensive understanding of the geopolitical reasons that gave rise to the American Revolution, as well as great descriptions of the campaigns fought during the war. Provides deeper understanding of topics you may have learned in grade school. Great fun to read. If you are looking for a one volume, comprehensive study of the American Revolution, this is your book. Only criticism I have is that I wished the author provided a bit more clarity as to what the Stamp Tax actually taxed and why Benedict Arnold changed sides. But, this criticism is mere minutia when taking into consideration the sheer magnitude of this book.

This book covers the period of the French and Indian War and the Revolution plus the writing the Constitution we live with today. In a 700 page book, the author does a very thorough job. He writes about people, battles - economic, political and war- the attitudes of the period he covers, and manages to get a lot of interesting facts and from them his opinions. His opinions are based on the writings of others and his own professional experience and training. They are not obtrusive in any way and many of them echo past historians I have read, some opinions are less popular but nonetheless interesting and possible. This is a book I will keep on my shelves and reread.
