    The American Revolution in New Jersey lasted eight long years, during which many were caught in the middle of a vicious civil war. "Taking Sides" uses numerous brief biographies to illustrate the American Revolution’s complexity; it quotes from documents, pamphlets, diaries, letters, and poetry, a variety of sources to provide insight into the thoughts and reactions of those living through it all.
