Set of 2 The War of the Revolution by Christopher Ward 1952 Hardcover Book Box. It is a history of the war that was caused by the Revolution. This revolution and union were gradually forming from the years 1760 to 1776.". This book is not a history of the American Revolution. It is a history of the war that was caused by the Revolution. As John Adams well said: "A history of the first war of the United States is a very different thing from a history of the American Revolution. The revolution was in the minds of the people and in the union of the colonies, both of which were accom-plished before hostilities commenced. This revolution and union were gradually forming from the years 1760 to 1776." With the Revolution as thus properly described, this book is not con-cerned, except in the brief résumé of the causes of the war in the first chapter. Its aim is to tell the story of the war on land, the campaigns, battles, sieges, marches, encampments, bivouacs, the strategy and tactics, the hard-ships, and the endurance of hardship. It is purely military in its intention and scope.
