As his lens widens, the “War of Independence” manifests itself as a sprawling struggle that upended the lives of millions of people on every continent and fundamentally transformed the way the world works, disrupting trade, restructuring penal systems, stirring famine, and creating the first global refugee crisis. Bell conveys the impact of these developments at home and abroad by grounding the narrative in the gripping stories of individuals—including women, minorities, and other disenfranchised people. The result is an unforgettable and unexpected work of American history that shifts everything we thought we knew about our creation story.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e416 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50000199844077,"sku":"128141","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/6017\/5085\/files\/THEAMERICANREVOLUTIONANDTHEFATEOFTHEWORLD.jpg?v=1779399487","url":"https:\/\/thehuntingtonstore.org\/products\/the-american-revolution-and-the-fate-of-the-world","provider":"The Huntington Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
