This book is a handy reference for the Revolution. It is jam-packed with valuable information, trivia, references, and wisdom that is seldom found in an encyclopedia-type volume. Written for the researcher in mind, this book is invaluable. This volume is highly recommended, and it is useful, and quite literally, indispensable for the serious student.

*I first became aware of Mr. Boatner's work over ten years ago when I purchased his book, "The Civil War Dictionary". This book was indispensable in my writting and researching of the Civil War. His work is acurate, consise, and ballanced. When I turned my efforts to the Revolutionary War and learned Mr. Boatner had a book that covered this war, it went to the top of my list of a must have reference books on the Revolutionary War. When I received it I was not disappointed. Mr. Boatner turned in another quality piece of work. I was very surprised that the Revolutionary volume was over 300 pages bigger than the Civil War volume. There is also a better index and more cross references for to help one find the specfic topic your looking for. This is not a fluff book with a lot of pictures. In fact there are no pictures, just a lot of facts on every aspect of the war, the battles, places, and people on all sides who participated. There a lot of maps and organizational charts to help visualize these facts. If your are serious about learning about the Revolutionary War, this book is a must for you home or town library.
