Have you ever wondered how close the U.S. was to losing the war for independence? Well I don't, because I read this book. It is a wonderfully written book about an important single year where the young United States almost lost its fight for freedom from British rule. There are a lot of great battle stories and journal entries from General George Washington to the young Privates fighting the bloody battles. There are stories of hardship and excitement. Good book. Good writer.
