5.0 out of 5 stars
AKA "William Diamond's Drum",
By Bill Wallace (St. Charles, Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lexington and Concord (Paperback)
This is an excellent book that I highly recommend! It is detailed, fast paced and exciting from beginning to end. A must read for any student of the American Revolution. However; be forwarned, this book was originally published under the title: "William Diamond's Drum". So if you read that book and loved it, do be aware that this is not a "new" book by Mr. Tourtellot. But if it is a new book to you under either title, then by all means grab it!

5.0 out of 5 stars
A Fascinating Look at the Opening Battles of the Revolutionary War,
This review is from: Lexington and Concord (Paperback)
A brilliantly written book that holds up well even after a half century. In the first third the author presents a critical and rather well balanced assessment of the events, political and military, that lead up to the fateful events of April 19th, 1775. In the next part he lays out in great detail what transpired on that day, carefully noting the limitations of the sources of information and avoiding speculation without foundation. In the final part of the book, the author describes how both sides collected and disseminated their different versions of the events of the day. This last part is something few history books every bother to mention but provides some real insight into how the story of what most likely happened transformed into what we are taught happened. Very much recommended to anyone with an interest in American history.
