NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the award‑winning creators of The Civil War, Baseball, Jazz, and The Roosevelts, this richly illustrated, human‑centered history expands on the landmark PBS series to reexamine America’s founding struggle.

Ward and Ken Burns explore the Revolution through the lives of ordinary soldiers and underrepresented voices—including women, African Americans, Native Americans, and Loyalists—revealing a nation still grappling with the meaning of liberty, equality, and freedom.
