Gonna have to be quite vague here, sorry. You did a review on a book, on the American War of Independence, and you weren't impressed. I believe you said that American preconceptions about the war had "slipped from the moorings of reality", in a similar manner to Scottish opinion on the '45 rebellion. I can't find however, any balanced books on the American war, and I was wondering if you had any favorite and reliable authors, that you would recommend. Also, love the Saxon stories, Ragnar is (was) hilarious. Thanks, Will Cameron
I was very impressed by the book! It was Fusiliers by Mark Urban . . . I only said that myth had overtaken history in the commonly accepted version of the events of the American Revolution and Mark Urban's terrific book serves as a useful corrective.
