Now, in \u003ci\u003eIron Tears, \u003c\/i\u003e master historian Stanley Weintraub offers the first account that examines the war from three divergent and distinct vantage points: the battlefields; the American leadership under George Washington; and--most originally--that of England, embroiled in controversy over the war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eIron Tears\u003c\/i\u003e renders an unprecedented account of the fight for American independence through British eyes, while dramatically narrating the battles that were waged across the Atlantic from Lexington to Yorktown and beyond. As the general, whom the British snobbishly and demeaningly referred to as \"Mr. Washington,\" rallied to keep his ragged and overmatched Continentals together and create a nation, \"iron tears\" fell from redcoat muskets and cannons, as well as from the demoralized eyes of the defeated British. Weintraub's multifaceted analysis will forever change and expand our view of the American Revolution.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStanley Weintraub is Evan Pugh Professor Emeritus of Arts and Humanities at Penn State University and the author of notable histories and biographies including \u003ci\u003e11 Days in December, Silent Night: The Story of the World War I Christmas Truce, MacArthur's War, Long Day's Journey into War, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eA Stillness Heard Round the World: The End of the Great War.\u003c\/i\u003e He lives in Newark, Delaware\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 416\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 8.9 x 5.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 11, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51760687644960,"sku":"9781476772134","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/8144aaa0eb1578ac8a0e563cfdac8343.webp?v=1780186925","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/iron-tears-americas-battle-for-freedom-britains-quagmire-1775-1783-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
