This review is from: New England's Little Known War Wonders (Paperback)

This is a nice little book. It brings up some little known war stories, which should perk your interest. After reading this, you really should investigate the history must further. I found many of the items to be lacking in research. This is a great book if you use it as a spring board to dig deeper.
