Story
The tide is turning against the colonists in the Revolutionary War, and 18-year-old Elizabeth Morris cannot sit by idly. Quietly disdainful of her Tory parents, who drag her along to society events and welcome a British soldier into their home during their occupation of New York City, Elizabeth decides to take matters into her own hands. She realizes that, as a young woman, no one around her believes that she can comprehend the profound implications of being a nation at war - she is, effectively, invisible. And she can use this invisibility to her advantage.

On January 17, 1781, at Cowpens, South Carolina, the notorious British cavalry officer Banastre Tarleton and his legion had been destroyed along with the cream of Lord Cornwallis’s troops. The man who planned and executed this stunning American victory was Daniel Morgan. Once a barely literate backcountry laborer, Morgan now stood at the pinnacle of American martial success. When George Washington called for troops to join him at the siege of Boston in 1775, Morgan organized a select group of riflemen and headed north.

Fourteen-year-old Greg Dixon is living a nightmare. Attending boarding school outside of Boston, he is separated from his family when a pandemic strikes.

The last message from his father is to get away from the city and to meet at his grandparents' town in remote New Hampshire.

Air Force pilot Captain Carlyle "Smitty" Harris was shot down over Vietnam on April 4, 1965, and taken to the infamous Hoa Lo prison - nicknamed the "Hanoi Hilton". For the next eight years, Smitty and hundreds of other American POWs - including John McCain and George "Bud" Day - suffered torture, solitary confinement, and abuse. It was there Smitty covertly taught the Tap Code - an old, long-unused World War II method of communication - to many POWs. In turn, they taught others, and it quickly became a way for POWs to communicate without their captors' knowledge.

In the darkest days of the American Revolution, Francis Marion and his band of militia freedom fighters kept hope alive for the patriot cause during the critical British southern campaign. Like the Robin Hood of legend, Marion and his men attacked from secret hideaways before melting back into the forest or swamp. Employing insurgent tactics that became commonplace in later centuries, Marion and his brigade inflicted losses on the enemy that were individually small but cumulatively a large drain on British resources and morale.

Cautionary Tale
- By mom2pidge on 11-14-18
By: Sinclair Lewis
Publisher's Summary
A gripping, fact-based story of how Daniel Morgan and his courageous riflemen played a crucial role in George Washington's victory in the American Revolution.
They wore hunting shirts, deer-skin leggins and moccasins. Each had a tomahawk and a scalping knife in their belts and carried "long rifles" in their hands. Every rifleman was a Patriot volunteer, a tracker, and a hunter. And they could kill a redcoat from 250 yards.
"This is a war story. It's about real people and events before, during, and after the American Revolution. The central characters in this work - Daniel Morgan, George Washington, Patrick Henry, Charles Mynn Thruston, and Generals Arnold, Knox, Lafayette, Greene, Lee, Gates, and a host of others-actually did the deeds at the places and times described herein. So too did their accurately named foreign and native adversaries. Though this is a work of fiction, readers may be surprised to discover the American Revolution was also one of the most 'un-civil' of civil wars.
"If Daniel Morgan were alive today, he would be my near neighbor in Virginia's beautiful Shenandoah Valley. It was while visiting a nearby gristmill that Morgan and Nathaniel Burwell, a fellow Revolutionary War hero, built in the late 1700s [now restored and operated by the Clarke County Historical Association], I became fascinated by this unsung national hero.
"As many readers already know, I'm grateful to have spent my entire life in the company of real American heroes. I'm looking forward to spending eternity in the company of my personal American heroes-the Riflemen you will meet in this book." (Oliver North, from the Preface)

Individual heroism in the founding of America
Having read many accounts on the founding of America more often than not relate to our founding fathers. Oliver North was able to delve into local history and write an account of individual Americans who fought for our freedom. He writes about the ideals and the bravery of Individuals of the past willing to sacrifice so much for freedom. Col. North has often said that he is fortunate to get to work among heros. He has and still does. Let's remind Americans that he is a great American hero among heros. Our hero's from the past few generations are honored to have him represent them. Not only present but now past as represented in this engaging novel. It is well researched and written as an exciting story.

Impressive
This is my first experience reading a book by Oliver North. The book is a historical novel. It is a story about the Revolutionary War. I recognized many of the heroes of the war such as George Washington, Daniel Morgan and General Arnold Knox. Our protagonist is Nathaniel Newman. The story ranges over the East Coast from Pennsylvania and Virginia to the New England States. The book is well written and researched. There is action and lots excitement. It was hard to put the book down. Also, included in the story is a good dose of history. I am impressed with the writing skills of North and recommend this book. The book is nine hours and nine minutes. Pater Bradbury and Jonathan Todd Ross do a good job narrating the book. Bradbury is an actor and audiobook narrator and Ross is a voice actor and audiobook narrator.

Just awful. It will not get better.
Bland. Extremely poorly told story. The author was much more concerned with intricately detailing mundane detail after mundane detail about inane tasks than he was actually working on any semblance of character development. Let me be clear. I absolutely hated this book.

Would not recommend
The story itself is very slow and boring. Not much happens. Also not great for an audio book because there are endnotes so you don’t get important information until the end of the chapter.
