Gone over: Israel Potter's War

Israel Potter #1

by David Chacko, Alexander Kulcsar

Gone Over is the story of the American Revolution seen through the reverse lens of British Intelligence--a view never quite seen before. Israel Potter is the best known private soldier of the Revolution, and his story takes the reader through the maelstrom of the war. From a beginning in captivity, Potter's life touches every major figure of this secret war, starting with the underground Friends of America in England and continuing through Benjamin Franklin's mission in Paris until it finally returns to the home front and the defection of Benedict Arnold.

[Jack · Rating 4 out of 5]

Entertaining --- I liked this story of Israel Potter, British spy born in America and helping the crown in the revolutionary war efforts. It spanned a long time and introduced many interesting characters, got into the financial markets of the time and gave an interesting account of what life was like back then both in America and Britain.

This has been out for 2 years now. Even though it looks like it is self published or from a small press, it is still surprising there are no reviews or even ratings. Don't know if that means its no good or it is hard to find. It does make you wonder.
