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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476772134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 375\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 1.20d","brand":"Stanley Weintraub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36652481347740,"sku":"9781476772134","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7a14299f-d8a5-49ef-80a2-40143600dec9.jpg?v=1603879869","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/iron-tears-americas-battle-for-freedom-britains-quagmire-1775-1783-9781476772134","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
