The book itself is very interesting with a slightly different perspective of the Revolutionary years. The usage of celebrations; newsprint; and dinner toasts at first glance do not seem very influential to the development of American Nationalist sentiment; but the author makes a good and compelling argument for it.0 of 3 people found the following review helpful. NiceBy The Sassy CountessI thought that it would be more on the parties; but it wasn't; so I was disappointed. I did get a little info; but only out of one paragraph.3 of 6 people found the following review helpful. A MasterpieceBy J. WolfWaldstreicher is a fantastic writer who crafts a masterpiece of American history. It takes more than a revolution to make a nation and Waldstreciher clearly demonstrates how diverse peoples with divergent interests formed a shared sense of nationalism.
