Purchase options and add-ons

It is autumn 1777, and the cradle of liberty, Philadelphia, has fallen to the British. Yet the true battle has only just begun.

On both sides, loyalties are tested and families torn asunder. The young Redcoat Sam Gilpin has seen his brother die. Now he must choose between duty to a distant king and the call of his own conscience. And for the men and women of the prosperous Becket family, the Revolution brings bitter conflict between those loyal to the crown and those with dreams of liberty.

Soon, across the fields of ice and blood in a place called Valley Forge, history will be rewritten, changing the lives and fortunes of these men and women forever.

Impossible to praise too highly!

What an enjoyable book. I have been a fan of Bernard Cornwell for some time, but this was the first book of his which I have read which wasn't part of the Sharpe series. Apart from addressing a fascinating period of history, there is also plenty of intrigue to it and it is just an all-around great story, avoiding predictability and just pleasant to read. I found myself wondering why it hasn't been made into a movie. It would blow the Patriot out of the water. Thank you, Mr. Cornwall, for once again providing some much-needed reading pleasure!

An exciting adventure that captures the turmoil of the war of independence without all the patriotic ferver claptrap that so often accompanies this subject.
This novel allows us to see the events through the eyes of the youth of the time. It also highlights the absurd mentality of colonialism of the 18th century.
The novel also illustrates the innocence and idealism that followers have for a cause, which they sometimes follow blindly and without question.
The charachters also depict the darker side of the human soul through anti heros who only manipulated both sides of the struggle for their own ends, and not the higher causes that the majority believed

Very good book

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2019

As a follow up to reading "The Fort", I wanted to see how Cornwell would treat another venue of the American Revolution. He did not disappoint. He doesn't hold back on the horrendous cost of war, which I actually appreciate. His characters will reel you in. His two main female characters are strong and clever, which is refreshing in a novel about war. His descriptions of the landscapes will paint wonderful paintings in your head as you just wish you could go back in a time machine to see them. The book takes some unexpected twists, which will definitely get your heart racing. I wish he had written more books on the Revolution. He does them awfully well!

too many type mistakes

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2011

Verified Purchase

I have loved everything Cornwell has written, and like this book too, but I was a little disappointed with the amount of spelling and typing mistakes. It looks more like it is has been converted from a scanned copy of the original using OCR than a real digital version. I haven't read the physical book to see if those errors exist there too (I am not that anal) but surely eBooks should be coming from the same source as the physical copies.

Getting a 4 out of 5 as I don't want my score to detract from what is otherwise a good read.

I'm a huge fan of Bernard Cornwell. This is one of his earlier works, but it's still historical fiction at it's best.

Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023

An average read for me, and for me a deceiving title. The story, titled Redcoat, is mostly about British Officers during the Revolutionary war, and their love lives while occupying Philadelphia.

Redcoats fighting a war, not so much.

Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2022

Born and raised in Pennsylvania but this book brought the trials of the War for Independence and the fighting around Philadelphia into clarity. I did the schoolboy journeys to Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and I saw Ben Franklin’s tomb. I wish I could have read this book first. I consider it the Red Badge of Courage” for Philadelphians. Kudos to Mr. Cornwell!
