Author Event: Derek Baxter The Forgotten World War
Advertisement
The Revolutionary War was a much more global effort than most of us imagine. In fact, to get the full picture, you should travel not to Washington, D.C., but to the hills of Andalucia, the lagoons of the Yucatan, and the palaces of southern India.
In a truly American story proving that our impact on the globe is much vaster than we imagine it is. Many nations came together across language and cultural barriers to overthrow the tyranny of the British with grit and determination (and yes--elephants!)
Derek Baxter is the author of In Pursuit of Jefferson: Traveling Through Europe with the Most Perplexing Founding Father, in which he recounts his journeys through six countries, armed with a guide written by Jefferson in 1788. The Forgotten World War is his second book. He lives with his family in northern Virginia.
