Bloomsbury presents Whirlwind by John Ferling read by Bo Foxworth

Amid a great collection of scholarship and narrative history on the Revolutionary War and the American struggle for independence there is a gaping hole one that John Ferlings latest book Whirlwind will fill Books chronicling the Revolution have largely ranged from multivolume tomes that appeal to scholars and the most serious general readers to microhistories that necessarily gloss over swaths of Independenceera history with only cursory treatment

Written in Ferlings engaging and narrativedriven style that made books like Independence and The Ascent of George Washington critical and commercial successes Whirlwind is a fastpaced and scrupulously told onevolume history of this epochal time Balancing social and political concerns of the period and perspectives of the average American revolutionary with a careful examination of the war itself Ferling has crafted the ideal book for armchair military history buffs a book about the causes of the American Revolution the war that won it and the meaning of the Revolution overall Combining careful scholarship arresting detail and illustrative storytelling Whirlwind is a unique and compelling addition to any collection of books on the American Revolution
