> For the partiotic men and women who died in the war, >please stop this propaganda. Americans were not saved >by the French! This is an insult to the bravery of >Americans!!! > >>At last, a book that scrapes away all the patriotic, >>American propaganda and rhetoric surrounding this >>conflict for the last two-hundred years and produces >>an unbiased, accurate, even-handed and honest version >>of events for the first time. >> >>The American War has deliberately been distorted ever >>since it was fought by American historians eager to >>promote their 'creation myth' in the style they're >>have liked it to have happened; namely righteous, >>noble, American heroes battling evil, dastardly, >>incompetent British redcoats. But this isn’t the >>reality. >> >>This book is a fascinating and detailed overview of >>the whole of the American War that manages to resist >>the modern American failing of lapsing into >>self-indulgent, patriotic wallowing and just tells us >>what happened, when, where and why. >> >>Most American writers would have you believe that the >>British were military inept buffoons during this war, >>but that isn't the truth, just patriotic boasting. >>Also the idea that the Americans won the war by >>sniping at the dumb British redcoats from behind trees >>with accurate rifles is false. In fact, both sides >>used riflemen, but mostly smooth-bore muskets. >> >>George Washington is also correctly exposed as a >>mediocre general who lost two-thirds of the battles he >>fought against the British. And of those he won, he >>had a large numerical advantage over the enemy in >>each. Washington certainly wasn't the great military >>genius his admirers would have us all believe today. >> >>Interestingly, the myth about 'British tyranny' >>provoking the American Colonies to rebel is examined >>and smashed. In fact, the American Colonies had all >>the freedoms that the Britons back home did. Trouble >>started when a radical, hard-line group of the >>American elite came to power and wanted to break away >>to pursue their own, selfish, agenda. >> >>Only when this demand was refused did the cries about >>'British tyranny' begin.

British tyranny to the American Colonies >>was merely a myth to justify the war. >> >>The reality was that the British won most of the >>battles and captured most of the biggest settlements. >>The Rebels spent most of the war on the defensive, >>usually retreating instead of risking pitched battles >>where possible. The French came in and saved the >>Rebels by giving them money and military aid! >> >>That's more or less the truth of it, as demonstrated >>in this uncompromising book. Of course, modern >>Americans don't want people to know that, so they >>assault us with fanciful, Brit-bashing, historically >>inaccurate, drivel such as Mel Gibson’s 'The Patriot' >>instead. However, reading this book is well worth your >>time. >> >>For example, the idea, popular amongst Americans >>today, that the Rebels won the Battle of Bunker Hill. >>In fact, as this book convincingly demonstrates, the >>British actually won the battle but the Americans are >>too proud to admit it and thus claim victory even >>today! >> >>This is a great book! Acquire and read at all cost if >>you want to know about the REAL American War rather >>than cinematic nonsense like ‘The Patriot’. It really >>does explode some outrageous myths and puts it >>straight for once and all…
