"The American Revolution is an eye opening example of how quality television can be both educational and inspiring. After two episodes Iknow so much more about the intricacies of the Revolution than I ever learned at school. The discussion of events most often includes the actual thoughts and emotions of the individual written concurrently with the events discussed. Although there is of course no live action footage or even photographs, the artwork and reproductions surrounding each event are very well done. Congratulations are in order for everyone involved in this work. And thank you...."

In this documentary, Paul Giamatti plays the voice of John Adams seventeen years after he portrayed John Adams in the 2008 HBO miniseries "John Adams" (and three years after playing the voice of John Adams in Ken Burns's documentary "Benjamin Franklin"). Interestingly, though Laura Linney (who played John's wife, Abigail, in that series) also lends her voice to "The American Revolution," it is not as Abigail Adams; that voice is played by Claire Danes.
