Summary

Independence War offers a comprehensive look at the American Revolution, highlighting the strategic and diplomatic intricacies that led to the birth of the United States. It examines not only the military conflicts but also the political climate and strategic decisions that shaped the outcome. The book emphasizes that the American victory stemmed from strategic brilliance, unwavering resolve, and successful diplomacy, rather than solely from military might. For example, the text explores how unconventional tactics helped the Continental Army compensate for the British forces' superior training and equipment.

 
The book begins by setting the stage with an overview of the pre-revolution political and social conditions in the colonies. It then methodically dissects major battles such as Lexington and Concord, Saratoga, and Yorktown, providing detailed analyses of tactical decisions and leadership qualities. Further, the book explores the crucial role of diplomacy, detailing how figures like Benjamin Franklin secured vital foreign alliances. By drawing upon primary and secondary sources, Independence War presents a balanced and engaging narrative suitable for anyone interested in American and military history.

    In 1987, E. L. Doctorow celebrated the Constitution's bicentennial by reading it. "It is five thousand words long but reads like fifty thousand," he said. Distinguished legal scholar Garrett Epps disagrees. It's about 7,500 words. And Doctorow "missed a good deal of high rhetoric, many literary tropes, and even a trace of, if not wit, at least irony," he writes. 
 
 
 
In American Epic, Epps takes us through a complete reading of the Constitution to achieve an appreciation of its power and a holistic understanding of what it says. In this book he seeks not to provide a definitive interpretation, but to listen to the language and ponder its meaning. He draws on four modes of reading: scriptural, legal, lyric, and epic. The Constitution's first three words, for example, sound spiritual—but Epps finds them to be more aspirational than prayer-like. He turns the Second Amendment into a poem to illuminate its ambiguity. He notices oddities and omissions. The Constitution lays out rules for presidential appointment of officers, for example, but not removal. Should the Senate approve each firing? Can it withdraw its "advice and consent" and force a resignation? And he challenges himself, as seen in his surprising discussion of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) in light of Article 4, which orders states to give "full faith and credit" to the acts of other states.
