Mary Karlee's review of Rise to Rebellion: A Novel of the American Revolution
Rise to Rebellion: A Novel of the American Revolution by Jeff Shaara
I'd place this book as one of the best books I've read in a long time. I found myself enthralled in the true-life drama of the birth of the American Revolution. Names and places that were vaguely familiar to me became real. I also liked that while enjoying a novel, I was learning our history too. Telling the story from the perspective of the Americans and the British leaders of the day really helped me see both sides of the story. It was interesting to think about how the revolution was considered a simple rebellion to be stamped out, and our heroes nothing more than "rabble". In short, this is a great book!
