    Book Title:
    The British Are Coming
    Author:
    Rick Atkinson
    ISBN:

    Category:
    History
    Format:
    Hardback
    Summary:
    This is the first volume of the Revolution Trilogy. It is any easy read with a story-like format, though factually accurate. The author pulls his descriptions of events and people from 1st and 2nd person sources.

    Much of the book involves the maneuvering of armies, though an ever present theme is the logistical nightmare of supply and communication across the ocean in the 18th century.

    It is a good read that breathes life into the names of historical figures.

    Looks like a good read Dobbs.
    If I did not have shelves already dedicated to the subject I might well be tempted.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
