A great read! A unique scene in the middle is amazing.....watching an event from afar, through binoculars. Philbrick really captured the fine nuances of this scene, all the while keeping up the quickly-evolving action. And how many books have you read whose narrator uses a wheelchair! Truly enlightening, and also a thrilling read.
