Barbara W. Tuchman schrijft voor het eerst over het Amerikaanse verleden, de moeizame jaren van de Amerikaanse vrijheidsstrijd, de oorlog waarin dertien koloniën in Noord-Amerika zich vrijvochten van het moederland Engeland. Zij plaatst deze strijd in het kader van de Europese politiek, waarin de Republiek zo’n duidelijke rol speelde. Het was immers op het Hollandse eiland Sint Eustatius dat de kanonnen het eerste saluutschot van de Amerikaanse ‘Andrea Doria’ met de rebellenvlag in top beantwoordde.
