History of the War of the Independence
of the United States of America

by
Charles Botta (Carlo Giuseppe Guglielmo Botta)

Also known as "The American War"

First published in Milan, 1809. Botta's great history was the first complete and accurate account of the American Revolution and the World War it generated. The American Edition, translated from Italian by George Alexander Otis, was highly praised by Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and James Madison, and mentioned in Jefferson's correspondence with Adams.
Botta had access to much of the British and French correspondence, news accounts, and diplomatic papers of the American War, and his great work provides an invaluable, if not 100% accurate, view of the Revolution from the point of view of the European powers.
Carlo Botta was a most remarkeable man: Physician, revolutionary politician and statesman, historian and poet. He was appointed physician for the French Army of the Alps and of Italy by Napoleon, went to the Mideast with the ill-fated French expedition, and was vice-president of the National Assembly of the French Empire. In view of Botta's position as a protegé of Napoleon, his treatment of George Washington as morally and intellectualy superior to the despots of Europe is especially interesting.

The American War is a must for the serious student of the American Revolution.
