Not the flauntless, invincible army

Revisado: 01-26-22

First, I like the narrator in this genre. I believe he also did "we were soldiers" which was outstanding.

Second, it portrays what I think to be a more realistic image of the continental army, which isn't the glorious, blue coated angelic force portrayed by Hollywood or school books.

It shows a side of Washington and the congress that is really contrary to the romanticized legends taught me as a child. The documented, true ways in which the war was enacted upon by the British and other Europeans are well researched here.

Reality.... Washington was neither a Wellington or a Patton, Hancock nor a Jackson. The British command was not wholly inhumane (anymore than the Americans or loyalists), and I wish more were aware of the manner in which they issued orders.

Finally, I wanted to hear more about Baron Van Steuben, as he was almost, if not solely responsible for the regulars sufficient enough to be conventional in their format.

Probably will listen again, will recommend.

Couldn't put it down!

Revisado: 10-02-20

Absolutely addictive. The books authorship was a no b.s., gripping work that made me actually enjoy and even look forward to my commutes. Coupled with the outstanding narrator, it was just like being encapsulated by a TV program! Definitely recommend this as I listened to it for free through audible and liked it so much I actually ended up buying it.

Truly moving

Revisado: 01-25-20

I loved how it felt as if Gen. Moore was reading this to me himself. It breaks apart the movie not that it was wrong, but the movie covers multiple engagements and squashes them into one.

It's very nice hearing about LZ Albany in such detail and how the families dealt with the aftermath... somthing not alot of people think about.

The narrator did something I did not particularly like and that was his pronunciation of the term "air mobile". He pronounced it like automobile. It isnt said that way now and from what I've heard it wasn't said that way then either. it is commonly pronounced "air moe-bull."

Dont pass this book up, should be high school required reading.

Should be mandatory

Revisado: 10-12-19

This book was great. I read about it in a comment and the author is offers excellent research and unbiased I think. I did not notice a bias towards wicca but if there is one perhaps it would be because of its popularity in general. The narration is excellent and the exercises given, I wish I would have found before in other material. Definitely prefer this books to any other and would say this should be the first or second read .

Truly beautiful poetry

Revisado: 07-25-19

This book is a true beautiful work of art. The way Anne describes even the life of inanimate objects is breathtaking. Simon Vance really brought the words to life with his fantastic narration and me mmfeel as if I were listening to tv.

very good introduction

Revisado: 07-16-19

I love the level at which Thea teaches this concise intro to Wicca. It's a crash course for the querrent and I keep coming back to it time and time again. In this book there is no obvious sexism, bias, or Christian harping. Very nicely done.
