Reviews

Kimberly Nath, Journal of the Early Republic

Overall, The Disaffected fills two gaps in the historiography of the American Revolution. Not only does it completely tell the story of occupation and its aftermath, but it also forces us to consider individuals who remained disengaged from the terms of affiliation as either loyalist or patriot.
