Captivating! My husbands favorite book the year. Very well written characters which makes every page fascinating.

Loved it!!

I loved this book. So many parts of history we never learned about. Lots of unexpected twists.

interesting - left me wanting more

This was a well done - well organized book. I enjoyed the way the authors painted the setting of the time and revealed the plot that developed against George Washington - however it left me wanting for more. Not because the authors were lacking but because there were not enough records and or documentation of some of what happened. Nevertheless a great read and the writing flowed perfectly.
