Morbid Musings

This book is a marvelously written historical narrative on the American Revolution. As told through the eyes of those who fought in the war, or who lived during the time period. I enjoyed it immensely. One of the things that caught my interest being that I have an interest in 18th century medicine was the narration throughout the book by the doctors and surgeons who lived during the time.

This is one of the best single volume historical narratives on the war. The writing style of the authors keeps the reader interested and the desire for wanting more. The only thing I wish the book had more of were maps. Don't get me wrong there are lots of maps in the book but some of the chapters on the various battles don't include any map. It would of been nice to see one map for each chapter to get the lay of the land. Other than the map issue this book should definitely be included in your American Revolution library.
