  • Just finished the read of his book. Very thorough detail discussion of the early part of the war. I am looking forward to his next two volumes!
    Most of the Revolutionary texts I have read focused on a specific leader, Knox, Morgan, etc. or on one Battle rather than a timeline of the whole War, so prepare to find a comfortable chair—it is no short text, but it is a good read and gives the reader an appreciation of the times and the difficulties and how we almost lost the war and our freedoms
