During this time of greater study of the war that made America, the authors of \u003ci\u003eTheaters of the American Revolution \u003c\/i\u003etake this approach for the first time. The result is a stimulating volume that will allow readers to see how the war flowed from region to region from 1775 to 1781, beginning in the Northern colonies and Canada, through the dark months in the Middle colonies, to a shift to the South and culmination at Yorktown. Simultaneously, the war raged up and down the western frontier, with the Patriots working to keep the British and their Indian allies from disrupting the main battle armies to the east. Equally important was the war at sea, where American privateers and a fledgling navy attempted to harass the British; but with the entrance of France to the conflict, the control of the sea took a much more balanced--and important-- aspect. With specially commissioned maps and colorful descriptions of eighteenth century American terrain, settle­ments, and cities, as well as key battles, \u003ci\u003eTheaters of the American Revolution \u003c\/i\u003eprovides an ideal introduction to understanding one of the most important wars in world history in its totality. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContents\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntroduction \u003c\/i\u003e- James Kirby Martin and David L.
