<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Allen delivers a sweeping, dramatic history of the Americans who chose to side with the British in the American Revolution and sheds important new light on the little-known figures whose lives were forever changed because they remained faithful to their mother country.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>From historian Thomas B. Allen, author of <em>Remember Pearl Harbor</em> and <em>George Washington, Spy Master</em> comes a sweeping, dramatic history of the Americans who fought alongside the British on the losing side of the American Revolution. Allen's compelling account comprises an epic story with a personal core, an American narrative certain to spellbind readers of Tom Fleming, David McCullough, and Joseph Ellis. The first book in over thirty years on this topic in Revolution War history, <em>Tories </em>incorporates new research and previously unavailable material drawn from foreign archives, telling the riveting story of bitter internecine conflict during the tumultuous birth of a nation.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>The American Revolution was not simply a battle between the independence-minded colonists and the oppressive British. As Thomas B. Allen reminds us, it was also a savage and often deeply personal civil war, in which conflicting visions of America pitted neighbor against neighbor and Patriot against Tory on the battlefield, on the village green, and even in church. </p><p>In this outstanding and vital history, Allen tells the complete story of the Tories, tracing their lives and experiences throughout the revolutionary period. Based on documents in archives from Nova Scotia to London, <em>Tories</em> adds a fresh perspective to our knowledge of the Revolution and sheds an important new light on the little-known figures whose lives were forever changed when they remained faithful to their mother country.</p>
