To help her, Saunders must serve his old enemy, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton, who is engaged in a bitter power struggle with political rival Thomas Jefferson over the creation of the fragile young nation's first real financial institution: the Bank of the United States.
Meanwhile, Joan Maycott is a young woman married to another Revolutionary War veteran. With the new states unable to support their ex-soldiers, the Maycotts make a desperate gamble: trade the chance of future payment for the hope of a better life on the western Pennsylvania frontier.
There, amid hardship and deprivation, they find unlikely friendship and a chance for prosperity with a new method of distilling whiskey. But on an isolated frontier, whiskey is more than a drink; it is currency and power, and the Maycotts' success attracts the brutal attention of men in Hamilton's orbit, men who threaten to destroy all Joan holds dear.
As their causes intertwine, Joan and Saunders - both patriots in their own way - find themselves on opposing sides of a daring scheme that will forever change their lives and their new country.The Whiskey Rebels is a superb rendering of a perilous age and a nation nearly torn apart - and David Liss's most powerful novel yet.

really loved this!!!

I do recommend this to anyone who enjoys historical writing. The story also has a strong and clever lead female character. I seem to enjoy this vs. women being dumb, easy to bend to male will, and having sex with everyone.
Worth a read

The story intertwines like old ivy, holding you firmly in anticipation of when and how these two timelines will join. The character development is rich and full and the many voices and attitudes of the narrator pull you gently back in time.
The language is at times harsh and vulgar, but such were the times and never seemed inappropriate. Liss effectively shows the prejudice of our forefathers in gender, race and culture, while the brilliance of the characters clearly shows ignorance of these prejudices.
I hope never to have an enemy like Jone Maycott, and for all his unseemly flaws, I would love to buy Capt. Saunders a drink.
I have found a new friend...
