Title: Have I read this before?
Review: That's what I kept asking myself when reading the first few chapters of this book. I've read other books on the revolutionary period, but I expected a fresh and detailed approach from this author. Instead, what I got seemed like a rehash of what I had read numerous times before. McCullough's "The Great Bridge" and "The Path Between The Seas" were great and original ideas done in an interesting and informative style, but this book is basically a junior-high-school-level introduction to the subject. Forget the hype, this book is a potboiler.
