I really enjoyed this book. It's easy to just choose a chapter a day since they're all written by different people. I knew about a lot of the men of course but the chapters that were the most interesting were the men I'd never heard of, like Bernardo de Galvez and Robert Morris. I certainly learned what a great diplomat Benjamin Franklin was in France!
I feel this was a very fair and even handed treatment of the men. Even the chapter on Benedict Arnold made me realize his being a traitor was not such a cut and dry deal. There was a lot that led up to that moment in his life in which he chose to side with the British. Makes you realize no one is all bad or all good; they are human with human frailties, but they sure gave a lot in the war. It truly seems a miracle we won the Revolution after reading accounts like these. I am grateful!
