Great history shared!
I absolutely love listening to these types of books while I work. I like hearing about history, and listening while I work makes my day go by faster and I learn so much. The author is sure to add weight to the words "independence" and "freedom," now fundamental rights for every citizen of the United States. The author has an amazing knack for storytelling, and then the author really brings it to life. I found the exploration of the British Parliament's various acts that oppressed the hardworking populace of America, igniting the flame of revolution and pushing the 13 colonies to create their own governing body.
The author's details are great, and I would love to listen to any other books this author has. This book is great for history enthusiasts or those eager to explore pivotal historical moments.

Wow!
I thoroughly enjoyed this engaging listen, filled with interesting historical facts. As a Canadian, I was only taught a certain part of the back story that led to the American revolution, so I thought it was fascinating to delve even deeper into the subject with this book and discover some of the missing pieces to complete the historical puzzle. Whether you are studying this topic or simply want to expand your cultural knowledge, this one is certainly worth a listen.

A book for history lover!
As a curious history enthusiast, this audiobook became my treasure map to understanding the American Revolution. The succinct chapters, such as "Dawn is Coming," acted like quick snapshots that I could digest easily. Before I knew it, I had a clear trajectory of how a nation's yearning for freedom evolved into a tangible reality. "The American Revolution" by Eric Porterfield isn't just a history lesson; it's a journey that satisfies my curiosity while making me feel like a time traveler exploring the roots of a nation.
The narration was crystal-clear and easy to understand. Highly recommended!
