Description
Book Synopsis: Acclaimed cartoonist-author Stan Mack turns his humorously journalistic comics style on the events and characters of the American Revolution, creating a reader-friendly cartoon guide to the who, what, when, and why of the effort to end ties with Britain and create a new nation. Getting away from the simplistic all-patriotic takes, this graphic novel covers the battles, the arguments, and the very un-united set of people who somehow still managed to launch the United States. From the king to the commoners, the book uses a light, readable visual presentation for serious topics and real subtleties. Called "spectacular" by Publisher's Weekly, given a starred review by Library Journal, and chosen as "New York Public Library Recommended Book" for teens, this lively graphic history demonstrates how the people and issues of a quarter of a millennium ago are not so different from those we deal with today, and how their impact is still felt. (Previously released under the titles Stan Mack's Real Life American Revolution and Taxes, the Tea Party and those Revolting Rebels.)
