Bruce Bliven Livres
Bruce Bliven Jr. fut un narrateur perspicace qui se pencha sur la riche histoire de New York pour comprendre sa propre place dans le monde. Ses œuvres se caractérisent par un profond intérêt pour la matière et son approche était réfléchie plutôt que superficielle. Il a exploré un large éventail de sujets, des campagnes militaires aux artefacts culturels, reflétant son souci du détail et sa capacité à rendre accessibles des sujets complexes. Le style d'écriture de Bliven était accessible mais informatif, captivant les lecteurs par sa prose réfléchie.
In the American colonies of the 1770s, people were fed up with British laws. Local farmers and tradesmen secretly formed a militia. In 1775, when the British marched into Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, the Americans were ready. From that first battle to the final showdown at Yorktown, the Americans fought against tremendous odds. The British army was bigger and better trained. Food and guns were scarce. But George Washington’s ragged army fought for–and won–the freedom and independence we cherish to this day.Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, the tale of our country's fight for independence is brought to life in fast-moving, dramatic detail.
