Academic journals on the subject of early America often over‐intellectualize topics and can easily intimidate casual readers. Popular websites and periodicals, when they do tackle the Revolutionary War, typically don’t provide the substance, depth or breadth of historical study craved by serious readers.

Aiming to fill the middle ground void is the new book… Journal of the American Revolution(ISBN: 9780966075182; November 2013; $26.95 U.S.; Hardcover; Full-color; History). Click for more information.

The book is a remarkably presented collection of never before‐ ‐published essays and remastered articles from the webzine Journal of the American Revolution (allthingsliberty.com), which was founded in January 2013 by Todd Andrlik, author of Reporting the Revolutionary War (Sourcebooks, 2012).
