Sword Of Liberty

Sword of Liberty: The Story of Two Revolutions is a historical book written by Frank Hutchins and originally published in 1921. The book explores the American Revolution and the French Revolution, two of the most significant events in modern history that shaped the political and social landscape of the world. The author delves into the causes, events, and consequences of these two revolutions, highlighting the key figures, battles, and ideologies that defined them. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on the American Revolution and the second part on the French Revolution. In the first part, Hutchins examines the American Revolution, which began in 1775 and led to the separation of the thirteen British colonies in North America from Great Britain. He discusses the factors that led to the revolution, such as the British government's attempt to impose taxes on the colonies without representation and the colonists' desire for greater political and economic freedom. He also sheds light on the major battles of the revolution, including the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Siege of Boston, and the Battle of Saratoga, which eventually led to the British surrender at Yorktown in 1781. In the second part of the book, Hutchins turns his attention to the French Revolution, which began in 1789 and marked the end of the French monarchy and the rise of the French Republic. He explores the social, economic, and political factors that led to the revolution, such as the growing discontent among the French people over the monarchy's extravagance and corruption. He also delves into the key events of the revolution, including the storming of the Bastille, the Reign of Terror, and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Overall, Sword of Liberty: The Story of Two Revolutions is a comprehensive and insightful account of two of the most important revolutions in modern history. It provides readers with a deeper understanding of the causes, events, and consequences of these revolutions, and how they shaped the world we live in today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
