The British Are Coming (Young Readers Edition) - Hardcover

by Rick Atkinson (Author)

A riveting young readers edition of The British Are Coming, the New York Times-bestselling history of the American Revolution by Pulitzer Prize winner Rick Aktinson.

How did the United States become the country it is today? What led to its creation?

Adapted from Pulitzer Prize-winner Rick Atkinson's deeply researched and stunningly vivid The British Are Coming, the young readers edition explores these questions and so much more as it delves into the American Revolution. A collection of key battles from the beginning of the war, including Lexington and Concord and the Battle of Bunker Hill, sets the scene, telling a story of liberation fraught with contradiction and intrigue.

History buffs and newcomers alike will be drawn into this fascinating, photo-illustrated account.
