The Silver Road tells the story that Americans are rarely told: how the Revolutionary War was actually won. From the Spanish-supplied muskets fired at Lexington and Concord in 1775 to the last-minute collection of silver pesos in Havana that funded the Battle of Yorktown in 1781, Spain and Latin America played a decisive role in the American Revolution.
