JUST RELEASED!

THE WEST POINT HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION

We are excited to announce the release of our newest volume covering the American Revolutionary War!

This new volume offers a groundbreaking view of this foundational war. With a host of new, custom built digital features - including in-depth animated campaign maps, interactive data visualizations, in-depth detail on period propaganda, battle songs and lyrics, soldier hotspot interactives, expandable biographies, historical on-the-ground accounts, and precise battle maps - this interactive text offers a view of the war that has truly never been seen before.

As the New York Journal of Books states, the book "sets the standard for a single volume military history text on the American Revolution." And the digital features only add to this exceptional standard. Over six comprehensive chapters, the book outlines all aspects of the war, from the pre-war tensions and conflicts to the post-war survival of a nation state.

And of course, this digital text is available across all platforms on Windows, Apple, and Android devices.

ABOUT

The West Point History of Warfare is revolutionary step forward in digital learning. A groundbreaking collaboration between Rowan Technology and the United States Military Academy, this fully immersive and interactive text provides an entirely new way to visualize and understand historical conflict.

This comprehensive survey - covering military history from Ancient Greece to the present - is the authoritative source on military history. First developed at the United States Military Academy - world's preeminent military institution - in 1847, the text was designed to teach the “art of war”: the human aspect of armed conflict beyond the technical details of attack and defense.

Continuously updated to reflect the rapidly-evolving state of armed conflict and its increasingly complex interpretations, the text has now been completely reimagined and redesigned for the digital age.
