About this book

The War of Independence: The Founding of the American Republic, Volume II by Claude H. Van Tyne is the Pulitzer Prize–winning continuation of his authoritative exploration into the origins and realization of American independence. Building on the foundations laid in Volume I, this work offers a detailed and dynamic account of the Revolutionary War itself—its causes, major events, leadership, and lasting consequences. Van Tyne presents a compelling narrative that blends military history with political insight. He chronicles the major battles, foreign alliances, and strategic decisions that shaped the conflict, while also exploring the internal divisions, economic challenges, and ideological struggles that tested the resolve of the American colonies. Figures such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson emerge not only as leaders but as symbols of a broader revolutionary spirit. Rich in analysis and grounded in meticulous research, this volume captures the birth of the American Republic in all its complexity and drama. The War of Independence remains a landmark work for anyone interested in the founding era, the Revolutionary War, and the development of American democratic ideals.
