About this book

Historians in the United States have argued that the ideals of the American Revolution have had an enduring significance outside their own country. The essays in this volume explore how the American Revolution has been constructed, defined and understood by Europeans from the 1770s, illustrating what it has meant in different countries.

Reviews

'This is a rich volume, teeming with rejuvenated views of the American Revolution and new insights into the concept of 'American exceptionalism' that, by and large, seems to have lost most of its past luster.' - Gérard Hugues, H-Diplo
