[Bill · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent account of the battles of Lexington & Concord, the events and atmosphere preceding and the aftermath.
Someone said "history is fable, agreed upon." So it is here, the fables we were taught at school could not be further from the truth.

Very well written, it would have rated more stars if it had hadn't been from the rebels point of view.
