Title: Can't put it down
Product review: A sequel as brilliant as its predecessor "Rise to Rebellion". I have not enjoyed two back to back books so thoroughly nor devoured them so quickly. It is as close to time travel as I have ever encountered in a book and it has even invaded my dreams. Characters continue to be developed and myths shattered. I have always been told Saratoga enticed the French to formalize an alliance but it was in fact Franklin's diplomatic intrigue. Greene sheds the "Quaker general" description and takes on a personality that is appealing and surprising. Young Lafayette is endearing and Washington reassumes the mythic proportions he held in my youth but now I know why. It is impossible to imagine modern pansy-a** Americans enduring what these men endured. As a living historian who is passionate about "selling" the American Revolution I will be recommending these books to everyone I encounter. Shaara has finally done the Revolution justice.
