Publisher Synopsis
"A challenging new interpretation, well written and solidly supported." * Library Journal * "This book first appeared in 1988 with a forthright argument about the intersections between political economy and the American Revolution... [and] remains a vital voice amid the cacophonous babble of interpretative approaches to the Revolutionary era.... A Mighty Empire remains a provocative thesis, and it may yet prove to be the building block of a fruitful body of scholarship on the American Revolution. Interested scholars should be grateful to the press for reissuing the book." -- Benjamin L. Carp * The Historian * Read more...
