Reviews

Acclaim for The French War Against America"A very readable and provocative tale of early Franco-American relations that will please some and infuriate others." -John Buchanan, author of The Road to Valley Forge: How Washington Built the Army That Won the Revolution"Harlow Unger has written an amazing tour de force revealing France's two-faced role in the American Revolution and the early Republic. The book also has enormous relevance for contemporary politics. Don't miss it." --Thomas Fleming, author of Liberty!: The American Revolution
