Descripci�n

Fine unread condition navy blue cloth boards with gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Introduction: Face to Face with History; Coda: Opening the Eyes of the World; Index; Picture Credits; Acknowledgments and A Note From the Executive Producer. Profusely illustrated with both black-and-white and color paintings and photographs. "Liberty! The American Revolution brings to life one of the most important and compelling stories in our country's history: the struggle for independence and the birith of the American nation. Historian and novelist Thomas Fleming's gripping narrative captures the high drama of the revolutionary years and the unyielding courage and political genius of the men and women who imagined a new set of political possibilities for mankind - laying the foundation for the identity and character of the American people in the process. The companion volume to the PBS television series of the same name, Liberty! is illustrated with more than 200 full color paintings and photographs, illuminating the revolutionary period as never before. Beginning in 1763, in the tranquil aftermath of the French and Indian War, and culminating in 1789 with the creation of a new nation, Fleming depicts these extraordinary times in all their intensity. The two-and-a-half decades of debate and rebellion included such seminal events as the Boston Massacre, the Declaration of Independence, the Battle of Yorktown, and the framing of the Constitution. Featured are the personal stories of many of the period's most influential and prominent individuals: the young King George III, who eolves from a callow youth into a stubborn and domineering menace to the liberty of both England and the American Colonies; a diffident George Washington, confronting the loneliness of leadership, discovering in the midst of defeat the strategy that rescues the collapsing cause; and the canny seventy-year-old Benjamin Franklin, who outwits the British secret service and the diplomats of France. Less well-known figures are also an important part of the narrative: Private Joseph Plumb Martin of Connecticut, who dines at Valley Forge on "a leg of nothing and no turnips:; and gifted women such as Abigail Adams and Eliza Pickney. In recounting their lives and contributions, Fleming provides a panoramic portrait of the times: daily life in colonial America; the political machinations of the British Parliament; the relationship between the colonists and the native tribes; the history of the slave trade; and the popular culture of the era. Most important, Liberty! traces the evolution of the ideals that inspired a generation of Americans to struggle against Britain - then the most powerful nation in the world - to establish the free society and democratic system that is so inherently and uniquely American. A remarkable work that surges with human drama, it is a book that every American family will read and treasure for decades to come." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida.
