From the Dust Jacket it reads:

"Many of the myths that have clouded contemporary views of the American Revolution are exploded in this panoramic view of the war's most crucial year.

Here are words about the book from R. Don Higginbotham, Professor of Military History, United States Military Academy:

"Very well written. He has a keen eye for the apt illustration and the clever phrase ... He puts the story of 1777 together in a very admirable fashion.. such a book should ahve a wide interest."

Very active style of writing that is easy to follow, nicely. I appreciate a book source like this that is well referenced and indexed. It's good contribution for my reference library.
