Lacks continuity, choppy

Story Throws out 1000 sound bites. Lacks continuity as in a story or narrative. It’s like someone gathered factoids about the Revolution War and just joined them by writing them down. Sorry; but difficult to picture the era, the situation, the event.

An excellent book

There is a lot of archaic language, but overall it's a very good book. There are some areas where the narrator's accent sneaks out.

An Excellent Overall History of the Revolution

The narrator’s abysmal pronunciation of foreign names and terms, and especially his pronunciation of Nathaniel as Nay-thaniel.

Good thumbnail of the revolution.

Great overview of the revolution. Occasionally did into to details and she's light on lesser known heroes. Unfortunately provides no details of these men and women. Good detail of events and let known back stories.

Great book

Very in-depth on the battles and feelings of the men who where involved. I learned a lot and will read again.
