A Bank Street Best Childrens Book of the YearA New York Public Library 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing What do the most famous traitor in history, hundreds of naked soldiers, and a salmon lunch have in common? Theyre all part of the amazing story of the American Revolution. Entire books have been written about the causes of the American Revolution. This isnt one of them. What it is, instead, is utterly interesting, ancedotes (John Hancock fixates on salmon), from the inside out (at the Battle of Eutaw Springs, hundreds of soldiers plunged into battle "naked as they were born") close-up narratives filled with little-known details, lots of quotes that capture the spirit and voices of the principals ("If need be, I will raise one thousand men, subsist them at my own expense, and march myself at their head for the relief of Boston" --George Washington), and action. Its the story of the birth of our nation, complete with soldiers, spies, salmon sandwiches, and real facts you cant help but want to tell to everyone you know. "For middle-graders who find Joy Hakims 11-volume A History of US just too daunting, historian Sheinkin offers a more digestible version of our countrys story...The author expertly combines individual stories with sweeping looks at the larger picture--tucking in extracts from letters, memorable anecdotes, pithy characterizations and famous lines with a liberal hand."--Kirkus Reviews Also by Steve Sheinkin: Bomb: The Race to Build--and Steal--the Worlds Most Dangerous WeaponThe Notorious Benedict Arnold: A True Story of Adventure, Heroism & TreacheryThe Port Chicago 50: Disaster, Mutiny, and the Fight for Civil RightsUndefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football TeamMost Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam WarWhich Way to the Wild West?: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didnt Tell You About Westward ExpansionTwo Miserable Presidents: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didnt Tell You About the Civil WarBorn to Fly: The First Womens Air Race Across America Author Biography Steve Sheinkin is the award-winning author of several fascinating books on American history, including The Notorious Benedict Arnold, which won the YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults, the Boston Globe/Horn Book Award for nonfiction, and received three starred reviews; and Bomb, a National Book Award finalist and recipient of five starred reviews.
