The latter half of this book relies heavily on Webster’s writings and memories.

One thing this book does really well which the TV show does not is describing how much these men did not want to fight, were constantly terrified by the prospect. Once in a fight they did everything superbly, but they still spent most of their time hoping not to have to fight or for a million dollar wound.

A real drive-by on the French here 🤣

A fast paced, interesting read so far.

Very partisan in its view (as you might expect), but without being facetious.

Gives some interesting context to events as portrayed in the TV show.
