After a first chapter and time line introduce the causes and main events of the American Revolution, this clear volume highlights men and women who made an impact before and during the conflict. Sections profile “Heroes with Words,” “Battlefield Heroes,” “Heroes from Other Lands,” and “America’s First Spies.” Vocabulary words appear in red and are defined at the bottom of the pages as well as in a glossary. Reproductions and occasional text boxes break up the main text. This valuable resource for report writers concludes with a list of suggested reading, link to publisher-vetted Web sites, and an index.
