{"product_id":"news-from-the-american-war-tom-hunter-9798879980882","title":"News from the American War of Independence: What Scots Read of the American War","description":"A huge amount of published work is available on the American War of Independence. However, one area given rather scant attention is that describing and analysing the public reaction in the colonial power, Britain. This little book tries to look at two aspects of this reaction: viz. (a) the extent of coverage given in a typical newspaper, and (b) the particular analysis presented to readers in Scotland.\u003cbr\u003e This latter question is relevant because Scotland, since the Union with England earlier in that same century (1707), had assumed a large contribution to the military and thus to 'empire-building'.\u003cbr\u003e The method chosen is to use \"extracts\". The year of 1779 is examined in the \"Edinburgh Advertiser\". This was a serious if popular newspaper which was published every four days with some ten pages being typical.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Hunter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798879980882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/18\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Tom Hunter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874390225151,"sku":"9798879980882","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/news-from-the-american-war-tom-hunter-9798879980882","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
