Title: Wonderfully biased!
Review: By using inflamatory rhetoric, deception, and yes, ommission, the author makes the reader emotionally sympathetic to the Republican cause. In doing so, one not only learns about a vital chapter in American history, but becomes involved in it. No, the book is by no means balanced. To have written it that way would have been a gross injustice to the passionate fury contained within the subject matter. Instead, Rosenfeld wisely chose to convey information to his reader the way Bache and Duane communicated to theirs two centuries ago. As long as the reader is aware that this is by no means the only interpretration of these events, the book is a valuable exercise. Still, some of the quotations could have been reduced. Washington's constant ravings about the lack of supplies, etc. were excessive. Instead, other facts were left by the wayside, i.e. why was the capital moved to New York, and then back to Philadelphia?
