I came across this book by chance and decided to purchase it on the fly.
It’s definitely not for everyone, but I would recommend if you can get a hardcopy it’ll be a sick addition to any library. While it’s pretty short (about 100 pages) the concept is very cool, and the concept in itself is in fact probably is the drawing point for the book.
The interviewees don’t go into beaucoup amounts of detail about their experiences in the revolutionary war, whether the author left out chucks of their experiences or not we’ll probably never know. Also, you have to take into account that these guys were all centenarians. Either way the idea of this book as a whole makes for a great story, it’s a short and easy read that can be revisited again.
