Title: Dull and Boring -- No Maps
Review: Dull and boring sum up my opinion of this book. What a struggle to get through it. And how do you produce a book about battles, troop movements, and fortifications with NO MAPS? Beats me, but this author and his publisher seem to think readers don't need this type of graphical information. Maybe everyone knows where the Harlem River is and how Washington positioned his troops on Long Island. The included reproductions of ancient unreadable maps do not do the trick. If you want to read history with some life to it, try Jeff Shaara's, "The Glorious Cause." Although billed as historical fiction, you get a better feeling for the personalities and challenges of 1776. Yes, Shaara's book has good maps.
