Bemerkungen

Inside very good. Through searing portraits of individual soldiers, Bruce Chadwick, author of George Washington's War, brings alive for the first time what it was like to serve in the American Revolution. With interlocking stories of ordinary Americans, he evokes what it meant to face brutal winters, starvation, terrible homesickness and to fight the much-vaunted British regulars and their deadly Hessian mercenaries. We are there during the terrible winter months, the terrifying moments of battle and the days when smallpox and death became daily visitors. Live through the experiences of those terrible and heroic times - when a fifteen-year-old fifer survived the Battle of Bunker hill, when Lt. James McMichael escaped unscathed from the bloody battle in New York and when a doctor and a minister shared the misery of the wounded and dying. These and many other intertwining stories are drawn from letters and never-before-quoted journals. This book is an unforgettable story of heroism and courage (flap). Englisch 1. Stock 155|7884DB
