How did the United States become the country it is today? What led to its creation? Adapted from Pulitzer Prizewinner Rick Atkinson's deeply researched and stunningly vivid The British Are Coming, our 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, set 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.

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