Read a lot while sitting around the airport today. Can I finish this before I’m back in the US?

I’ve gotten over my initial dislike of Middlekauff’s style and I think the writing has actually improved quite a bit since the clunky first few chapters. Now that we’re in significant battles + Declaration of Independence territory, I’m locked in.

Do you know how exciting it is to finally reach the chapter titled “War”? George Washington is bulking, Ben Franklin is pissed, and John Adams has entered a flow state. Watch out, Georgie, it’s fucking ON.

Middlekauff has entered a flow state describing the events that led to the Boston Massacre. He has elevated his prose from “bland textbook” to “I took a creative writing course a few years back.” Proud of him.
