This book is about the times and diffuculties that the the American soldiers endured. Milton Meltzer gathered lots of information about the war, as in many of the other " A history in You Own Words" series. The book is different because the way the author gives you his information is a first person diary entry account. The emotion pours from the " Entry's in the book." The battles are exciting and the talking seems dull afterwords.

I'd recommend this book to anyone who likes the ( American)Revolutionary war

My kids read a chapter of this every night. They are enjoying the opportunity to get a more translucent perspective of what the American struggle is and the ideals that surrounded the will to preserve it over time. Especially during election time, I highly recommend sharing some of the positive ideals that our country was founded on through the eyes of the people who struggled through it.
