Hard to stop listening! Excellent Audible book.

This is one, if not the best, revolutionary war books that I have read/listened. Extremely well written and well read. This book helped me understand the southern theater so much better, and gave an outstanding account of the people who shaped the battles that took place.

Evan's Review

Living in North Carolina and have visited many of the the battle sites in this book along the Liberty Trail I strongly recommend this book. Just went to Guilford Battlefield two weeks ago. Many of the commanders of NC troops are names that famous in the history of North Carolina and South Carolina. One is General Davidson in which the County i live in is named after him.

Compelling historical narrative of the American Revolution in the Carolinas

Buchanan is a deeply informed historian who provides a well paced history of the two year campaign that drove Cornwallis out of the Carolinas toward his loss at Yorktown. His judgments about the major protagonists: Nathaniel Greene, Banastre Tarleton, Thomas Sumter, Daniel Morgan, Francis Marion and Lord Cornwallis are measured, sound and revealing. Anyone fascinated by Ken Burns recent documentary will be thrilled. The Revolution was also a civil war between Americans and Buchanan doesn’t shy from the sometimes shocking behavior on display by both sides. Highly recommended.

Loved this book

Really gave the reader a good in depth account of the major war participants in the Carolina’s.

Amazing Book

This book is truly amazing. I am lifelong student of this war and the author has done an excellent job in presenting his case in a factual way. Even characters he does not like, he was extremely fair about. People he loves, he does not sugarcoat whatever shortcomings they may have had. The layout and progression of the material was amazing. My best compliment is regarding his writing style. Without sacrificing any scholarly nature of the material, you feel time and again that the writer is simply having a conversation with you. I was very sad when this book was done.
