This was the five-year war that made America a nation download ccna certification ebooks torrents. Indeed President Barack Obama referred to it in his Inaugural Address; and every American child is steeped in its history download ccna certification ebooks torrents. But all too often the fog of myth shrouds the reality from all sides of the conflict download ccna certification ebooks torrents. In these pages, the path to war is starkly documented by British caricatures of politicians and generals, for the most part favorable to the Colonists download ccna certification ebooks torrents.For George III, Lord North and Britain the war itself was a disaster, but one which need not have happened. The problems of coping with a country 5,000 miles away with a tradition of representative government, a free press and a spirit of independence were just too much. But they, together with Generals Howe, Burgoyne, Cornwallis and others, were mercilessly lampooned. Washington, the hero, is spared, although there are surprising and dark elements to the American victory illustrated here.Kenneth Baker has used contemporary material, not the romantic patriotic pictures of the 19th Century. He has drawn upon his own experiences of high politics, and his personal collection of caricatures, as well as the libraries and historical societies of the East Coast. These provide vivid and memorable images made at the very time that the Americans and French were fighting the British and Germans on their road to victory. REVIEWS "The book is compulsive - utterly absorbing ... Caricature, I realize, is a great indicator of how the winds of public sympathy (and hostility) were blowing: a window into that most evanescent of things, the way it felt at the time.'The Times (UK), 11/2009
