Russell Shorto's new book, "Revolution Song: A Story of American Freedom," is a superbly written work that skillfully interweaves the stories of several individuals, from the most prominent to the generally obscure, who were caught up in the revolutionary upheaval that engulfed Great Britain's North American colonies in the 1770's. I found it to be a real page-turner and perhaps the most enjoyable history of this subject that I've encountered. It's a real pleasure to recommend this to anyone who loves to read history (or perhaps anything else), regardless of their level of interest in the American Revolution.
