How the French Saved America

Author Tom Shachtman “makes a convincing case that, without France, the United States may never have gained independence” ( Kirkus Reviews ). “At last a full and compelling accounting of the crucial role that France and the French played in the American Revolutionary War! Shachtman skillfully shatters the myth that Americans secured their independence from Great Britain alone and by themselves. . . . This book deserves a place on the bookshelf of every American history buff.” ―Jeswald W. Salacus
