Read in February, 2008
Brilliant in its simplicity. A surprisingly easy read for a novel about the evils of war, the ambiguities of capital punishment and the hypocrisy of faith. Fast also manages to find room for a moving love story (if that's what you're in to) involving some very memorable characters. Very impressive for a book that is just over 200 pages.

This is a short, easy to read book set in New England in Revolutionary War times. I picked this book up at a garage sale awhile back because I've enjoyed other Howard Fast books in the past. It isn't his best, but I enjoyed it.
