Lucy Worsley Investigates The American Revolution

Presenter Lucy Worsley is back on the detective trail. She wants to understand why the British Empire - the most powerful in history - lost the War of Independence against a ragtag band of American rebels. It's a question that will take her on a revelatory, and very unexpected, journey. Lucy will tell this American story from the perspective of Britain. By interrogating this largely untold standpoint of the conflict, she'll reveal that this wasn't just a pivotal moment in the forging of the USA... but in the re-making of Britain too.
