Lots of detail on the years leading up to the U.s. Entering the war.particularly enjoyed the cultural details and the authors own reminisces.

Liked the first had sources that were used. Gave a clear picture of all the forces at work and a feeling for the viewpoints of the loyalists, rebels, hessians, etc

Good for those who want battle details. I enjoyed the occasional letter or diary entry and even a couple of female voices

A great overview of the campaign of the winter of '76 and '77 ending at the Battle of Princeton. Doesn't focus on any particular person, instead it drifts into and out of the main players of the campaigns, giving enough insight and detail to help the reader form a picture of the people involved, their potential reasons and rational. Easy to read.
