Description:
In Scars of Independence, Hoock writes the violence back ì into the story of the Revolution. American Patriots persecuted ì and tortured Loyalists. British troops massacred enemy soldiers ì and raped colonial women. Prisoners were starved on ì disease-ridden ships and in subterranean cells. African-Americans ì fighting for or against independence suffered disproportionately, ì and Washington's army waged a genocidal campaign against the ì Iroquois. In vivid, authoritative prose, Hoock's new reckoning ì also examines the moral dilemmas posed by this all-pervasive ì violence, as the British found themselves torn between unlimited ì war and restraint toward fellow subjects, while the Patriots ì documented war crimes in an ingenious effort to unify the ì fledgling nation.
