Ferling John. Almost a Miracle: The American Victory in the War of Independence
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2007. - 694 p.
ISBN: 978-0-19-518121-0

Great history books enable us to rethink topics that we thought we already knew. John Ferling's Almost a Miracle alerts us to largely ignored aspects of the war that gave us our independence. At the core of this narrative is the revelatory assertion that victory in the Revolution was achieved as much by crucial British mistakes as by Colonial military prowess. The author also offers persuasive proof that civilians, especially Native Americans and residents of coastal towns, were either deliberately targeted or fell victim to epidemics spread by the war. He tracks blunders on both sides, including political divides in the Colonies and England's bumbling attempts to resolve the conflict diplomatically.
