Reviews

[Shivom Parihar · Rating 3 out of 5]

An essential text on the thought of an overlooked group that avoids caricatures. There Is very little discussion of slavery, which would have been instructive.

[Mark Singer · Rating 3 out of 5]

A brief history of the Loyalists during the American Revolution. I gave it three stars because it was so short (194 pages) and that there were no listed sources or bibliography.

[Erik Randall]

There is certainly more to Loyalists during the American Revolution than you learned in your history course, and this quick read will get you well on your way.
