The US Civil War was the deadliest conflict in American history, partly because of rapidly advancing military technology. Civil War Technology explores how rifles, ironclad ships, and telegraphs helped the Union win the war.

The war for America's independence from Great Britain brought about not only political change, but also technological change. American Revolution Technology explores how firearms, artillery, and naval technology helped win the war.

The men who signed the Declaration of Independence knew they were taking a great risk. If the British triumphed in the upcoming Revolutionary War, they would probably be hanged. That didn't stop them. Who were these brave men? Some remain famous even to this day, such as Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, John Hancock, and perhaps above all, Thomas Jefferson. He was the man who drafted the Declaration of Independence. Others have been largely forgotten. This book looks at the lives of all 56 signers. Read about Caesar Rodney, who got out of his sickbed and rode all night to cast the deciding vote for independence for his Delaware delegation. Thomas Nelson Jr., who had a one-man version of the Boston Tea Party. George Wythe, murdered by a scheming grand-nephew.

Not long before American Revolution, the colonists fought another war in America, this one alongside soldiers from Great Britain. Known today as the French and Indian War, the conflict decided how much land the country of France would call its own in North America. If Great Britain had any say in the matter, it would surely not be much land at all--and as it happened, the Brits would in fact have a great deal to say about it. They emerged the victors after seven difficult years. This book examines primary sources from the era to tell the tale of how the first British war was fought on American soil.
