Lexington and Concord: The Battle Heard Round the World
New York: WW Norton, 2018. First edition. Hardcover. First edition. Fine, fresh copy in fine dust jacket which shows a touch of light rubbing. Hardcover. 349 pp with bibliography, index, ad black and white photographs. George C. Daughan's magnificently detailed account of The Battle of Lexington and Concord challenges the prevailing narrative of the American War of Independence. It was, Daughan argues, based as much on economic concerns as political ones. When Massachusetts militiamen turned out in overwhelming numbers to fight the British, they believed they were fighting for their farms and livelihoods, as well as for liberty. Fine / fine.
