KING GEORGE NEVER DID UNDERSTAND AMERICANS�Entire books have been written about the causes of the American Revolution. This isn�t one of them.� What it is, instead, is utterly interesting, antedotes (John Hancock fixates on salmon), from the inside out (at the Battle of Eutaw Springs, hundreds of soldiers plunged into battle �naked as they were born�) close-up narrative filled with little-known details, lots of quotes that capture the spirit and voices of the principals (�If need be, I will raise one thousand men, subsist them at my own expense, and march myself at their head for the relief of Boston� -- George Washington), and action, It�s the story of the birth of our nation, complete with soldiers, spies, salmon sandwiches, and real facts you can�t help but want to tell to everyone you know.
