Liberty Fund has made this rich historical treasure available once again to an eager audience of scholars, students, and interested lay readers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this first volume, \u003cem\u003eOrigin of the American Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e, Knollenberg knits together the most important and coincident prerequisite conditions that made the colonial break with England inevitable. The book is in great measure a work of imperial history, in that it views the advent of the American Revolution within the context of the first British Empire. In this context, Knollenberg views the movement toward independence as the failure of the British to solve the problem of empire.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough Knollenberg does not primarily deal with intellectual history, he describes the basic divergence in political principles between England and its North American colonies. In keeping with the style of the time in which he wrote, Knollenberg stresses politics and economics over social and cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOrigin of the American Revolution\u003c\/em\u003e provides a concise treatment of a time period crucial to the making of the American nation. Knollenberg is one of the first historians to move the Anglo-American dispute back in time, and his work throughout is deeply researched and clearly and engagingly written.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBernhard Knollenberg\u003c\/strong\u003e practiced law for twenty-two years in New York City before leaving to direct the Yale University Library in 1938.
