Description
When we think of the American Revolution, we picture 13 colonies squaring off against the British Crown. But this version of the story is only half the truth—and perhaps not even the most interesting half. Join historian and author Richard Bell to rediscover the revolution as a world war that unleashed chaos, opportunity, and transformation across six continents—from the sugar fields of the Caribbean to the court of the King of Mysore and political uprisings in Sierra Leone and Peru.
