In <I>[https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0300077262/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0300077262&linkCode=as2&tag=dailyh0c-20&linkId=adb85317edde86d94da7e65183e5d517 The Americas in the Age of Revolution, 1750-1850]</I>, Lester Langley analyzes the chaos and complexity of the American Revolution (1776), the Haitian Revolution (1791), and the Spanish Wars of Independence (1810s & 1820s). Langley justifies his choice of revolutionary struggles by claiming that each event featured the involvement of popular forces in the overthrow of the legitimate political authority within a fight for colonial independence, and each remains a foundational historical reference in the national and political identity of the nations that emerged. Langley’s focus is not on the origins and outcomes of the revolutions he examines, or the intentions of the revolutionaries themselves.
