KB’s Reviews > The British Are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775-1777 > Status Update

A masterpiece where “paragraphs rise in thick, unyielding ranks across the page, each a battlement of prose jammed shoulder-to-shoulder with the small, precise particulars of war. Adjectives serve not as mere decoration but as essential ammunition—sallow, sodden, chosen with the care of a loader sliding a high-explosive round into the breech. A literary redoubt from which no essential detail can escape.” Yeah.
