Exploring the Secret History of the American Revolution, from Spain to India and Back Again by Derek Baxter  published by  Source Books 

Follow the American Revolution far beyond the 13 colonies and trace how diplomacy, logistics, and foreign interests shape independence. We talk with author Derek Baxter about the overlooked allies and global battlefields that turn a colonial revolt into a true world war.

• The Declaration of Independence as a strategic message to foreign powers
• Gunpowder, artillery, and naval weakness as the Patriots’ early crisis
• The failed Canada campaign as a lesson in diplomacy and homework
• Bernardo de Galvez and Spain’s decisive Gulf Coast victories
• Comte de Vergennes and Lafayette driving French support and public momentum
• St Eustatius as a Dutch smuggling hub and the first foreign salute to the US flag
• The Channel Islands and the failed France Spain invasion threat that pins Britain down
• The Mysore Kingdom in India and the rocket technology tied to later British warfare
• Why these stories fade from US memory and why the global view matters now
