About the Book

America Victorious, written by Tom Hand, shares engaging stories of some of the lesser-known men who fought our country’s battles in countless places across our young nation. 

From the Minutemen who fired the “shot heard round the world” at Lexington and Concord, to Nathanael Greene’s exploits in the southern theater, to George Rogers Clark’s conquest of the Illinois and Ohio Country, the book is filled with interesting tales of the heroic deeds that secured our country’s independence. By examining these struggles against all odds, readers will gain a deeper appreciation for the men who fought the good fight for eight long years with little to sustain them except their innate courage and their dream of a land in which they could chart their own destiny. 

These stories, along with more than 150 images and nearly two dozen beautifully detailed maps, celebrate the indomitable American spirit and the perseverance that allowed our forefathers to overcome extraordinary odds. Written with a patriotic tone, America Victorious seeks to inspire renewed appreciation and love of country. 

All proceeds will be donated to the Preserving America Grant Program to help historical organizations across the country tell the incredible story of our nation’s founding era.

  • "For those of us who have studied the war it is a first rate primer, a reminder of much of what we’ve read and forgotten. Additionally, there are many facts, particularly of more obscure events that I did not know. I found the way it is organized, bite sized morsels, very enjoyable and helpful. All in all definitely worth the read and keep as a succinct reference."

    David Murphy

  • "The book is beautiful, well-rendered, interesting, and … most of all, chock-full of information this student of the American Revolution had never come across before and thus true to the sub-title “Lesser-Known.” Overall, highly recommended!"

    William J. Bahr

  • "Easy to read, and easy to understand. He gives a brief overview of battles in chronological order and their impact on the war in just a couple pages for each one. I like that he gives the stories of the battles on the western frontier that are very seldom talked about. I highly recommend it!"
