Description: The author of the What They Didn't Teach You series tackles his most important subject to date: the American Revolution. Among the topics examined in Wright's sometimes irreverent look back are: what made the founding fathers so great (or were they?); how about a few words for the founding mothers; and spies from Nathan Hale to Benedict Arnold, with enlightening stops on the distaff side for Patience Wright (no relation to our esteemed author), Lydia Darragh, and Ann Bates.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 324-334) and index.
