Book Review of Killing England: The Brutal Struggle for American Independence

Killing England: The Brutal Struggle for American Independence
Paul-RLT avatar reviewed on + 176 more book reviews


This book is about the Revolutionary War. The authors provide lots of details that don't make it into history books. In particular, there is a great deal written about Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Benedict Arnold and Hamilton...not just their public lives but also their private lives.
The reader also gains a vivid impression of living in the 1700's and the brutality of war.
