商品簡介
Mays (political science, The Citadel, South Carolina) covers not just the war of independence, but the political and social changes that led to it beginning in 1763, and the period between the end of hostilities and the implementation of the Constitution in 1789. In entries ranging from a sentence or two to the rare two pages, he identifies people, events, places, laws, institutions, and movements. His emphasis is on political, economic, and social issues; though some military matters are mentioned, he refers readers to more detailed military coverage in his Historical Dictionary of the American Revolution (1999). He includes extensive cross-referencing, but no index. Annotation c2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
