Title: Anything but dry history!!!
Product review: Jeff Shara has made the American Revolution finally come to life for present day readers- it's almost as good as watching "The Patriot"! We've studied these men and women of the Revoltionary times as students in school and found it hard to identify with them until now- Mr. Shara has put feelings and faces on them to the point where you feel the devastating winter in Valley Forge, soldiers reduced to boiling rocks for food, and wrapping their shoeless feet in rags, all in the name of the cause and for their general, Washington, who they idolized. You begin to understand how precarious our position was and how the war counld never have been won, at that time, without the aid of France.These are all facts I never really understood until reading this book which I feel should be a required text for our upper level high school students.This is a must read!
