Whirlwind: The American Revolution and the War That Won It

---

John Ferling offers a panoramic, single-volume narrative of the American Revolution and the war that secured independence, covering the period from the end of the French and Indian War in 1763 to the Treaty of Paris (1783).

He argues that the struggle was not simply ideological but deeply military, political and contingent—outcomes hung by a thread, with British strategic overreach and American resolve both critical.

Ferling blends social, political and military history, examining the transformation of colonists into revolutionaries, the shaping of new governing institutions, and the battles—both famous and obscure—that determined the war’s course.

Ultimately, the work contends that the war “won it” — not just the wish for independence — and that the creation of the United States was as much a product of military success and institutional innovation as of revolutionary ideas.
