On October 27 at 7 p.m., W3R-US will feature Dr. Larrie Ferreiro. He will speak about the French and Spanish roles in our American Revolution. Dr. Ferreiro’s talk will be based in large part on his popular and best-selling book, Brothers at Arms: American Independence and the Men of France and Spain Who Saved It”.

Brothers at Arms explores the untold story of how the American Revolution’s success depended on substantial military assistance from both France and Spain, and it places the Revolution in the context of the global strategic interests of those nations in their fight against England.
