| Harry M. Ward, now retired from the University of Richmond, has long sought to reconstruct and convey a sense of the experience of the American war for independence. His earlier biographies of revolutionary generals were equally about the lives of their soldiers. In his last book, The War for Independence and the Transformation of American Society (1999), Ward remained focused on the war but looked beyond the army to ask how the experience of the war itself may have reshaped American society. Several of the chapters in that book reappear in the current book in greatly expanded form. |
