2. Academic journals on the subject of early America often
over‐intellectualize topics and can easily intimidate casual
readers. Popular websites and periodicals, when they do tackle
the Revolutionary War, typically don’t provide the
substance, depth or breadth of historical study craved by serious
readers.
Aiming to fill the middle ground void is the new book…

Full-color; History). Click for more information.

3. The book is a remarkably presented collection of
never‐before‐published essays and remastered articles from the
webzine Journal of the American Revolution
(allthingsliberty.com), which was founded in January 2013 by
Todd Andrlik, author of Reporting the Revolutionary War
(Sourcebooks, 2012). The book and website are edited by
historians Todd Andrlik, Hugh T. Harrington and Don N.
Hagist, and feature numerous expert contributors.

4. In a world of increasing historical illiteracy and apathy, Journal of
the American Revolution publishes passionate, creative and
smart content intended to make history more palatable. The
book offers a healthy variety of in‐depth features and engaging
columns, in both short‐ and long‐form, with an eye for accuracy
over legend. Each article is accompanied by high definition
images – portraits, maps, photos and more – including some that
are appearing in print for the first time ever.

5. “It’s edutainment, or a much‐needed business casual approach
to scholarship,” Editor and Author Todd Andrlik said. “This book
is intended to be a collector’s hardcover edition of a website that
is quickly becoming the leading source of information about the
American Revolution and Founding.”
