Almost a Miracle

By Laura Knoy on Tuesday, July 3, 2007.

The War for Independence was a war on large scale, with men fighting from Florida to Canada, the Caribbean to Africa and India and on the high seas. It was a battle fought by the American Revolutionaries to create what they thought would be a new world filled with greater opportunity…a war that the colonists came much closer to losing than is now usually remembered and one that General George Washington characterized as “little short of a miracle”. Author and historian John Ferling brings us an extensive history of the military struggle of the War for Independence.

Guest

  • John Ferling, long-time historian of early America and author of numerous books, including his latest “Almost a Miracle: The American Victory in the War for Independence.”
