We are pleased to introduce our newest collectible hardback, which is now available for pre-order via Amazon and will deliver in April. The Journal of the American Revolution, Annual Volume 2016, presents the journal’s best historical research and writing over the past calendar year. Articles are carefully selected by the editorial board and authors are given the opportunity to polish their pieces with important updates. Featuring helpful charts, a comprehensive index, more than 30 images and scores of new perspectives, the book is designed for institutions, scholars, and enthusiasts to provide a convenient overview of the latest research and scholarship in American Revolution studies.
The 2015 volume sold out in weeks, so we encourage you to buy early (and often). For those who ordered the 2015 edition while it was out of stock, we have good news. Westholme Publishing recently informed us that the second printing of last year’s annual volume will also be available in April.
