This was as thrilling as a book about 250 year old events can be! All the letters and diary content really added to the historical narrative.

What I learned from this book: After the Declaration of Independence was signed, a NEW DAY OF FREEDOM REIGNED. Uh anyway, it was well-written I guess but pretty bro-ed out on Bromerica.

This book is a very informative look at a single year in American history. I liked learning about the British and Loyalist point of view as well as the problems Washington had in keeping the army together. The portraits, letters and the maps also add to the experience.

Just never could get into it. Seems like he did research but missed the spirit/heart of the times. I'll stick to books closer to the founding dates but keep this on my shelf for future reference.
