A Few Bloody Noses: The Realities and Mythologies of the American Revolution(ISBN=9781585672738) pdf snb 115盘 kindle 在线 下载 pmlz mobi

　　We meant well to the Americans-just to punish them with a few

bloody noses, and then to make laws for the happiness of both

countries," said George III. The ensuing uprising led to the

creation of the United States, the most powerful country in the

modern world.

Robert Harvey, whose most recent book Liberators was brilliantly

reviewed on both sides of the ocean, challenges conventional views

of the American Revolution in almost every aspect-why it happened,

who was winning and when, the characters of the principal

protagonists, and the role of Native Americans and slaves. In a

time when the history of the United States is being

reconsidered-when David McCullough's John Adams and Stephen

Ambrose's Band of Brothers top the bestseller lists-Harvey

creatively studies this seminal event in the making of the United

States. He takes a penetrating look at a war that was both vicious

and confused, bloody and protracted, and marred on both sides by

incompetence and bad faith. He underscores the effect of the

Revolution on the settlers in America, and those at home in

Britain-the country that the settlers had left behind, and to which

many returned. The result is an extraordinarily fascinating and

thoroughly readable account.
