Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Historians have documented extensively the most impressive battles and heroic exploits of the American Revolution, but alongside the best-known military leaders, thousands of lesser mortals and their families lived out personal dreams and contributed mightily to the creation of a new country.
This superb historical novel presents General Nathanael Greene and Private James Johnson as their lives in a regiment of the Continental Army lead to the 1781 Battle of Eutaw Springs in South Carolina where fate brings, among the carnage, painful personal realizations for both men.
Price's novel is historically and culturally accurate, and his writing is brilliant as always. (Check out his other marvelous books.) The characters are engaging; the settings are powerful with both beauty and tragedy; and the overall story brings to the reader a deeper understanding of the birth of our great nation and the lives of people who, against great odds, created it.
Highly recommended!

A sweeping narrative that tells the separate but ultimately intertwined stories of two compelling characters, vastly different in background and outlook, but destined to strive together in the last great pitched battle for American independence.
