Customer Reviews

History as exciting as a novel

Marrin serves up little known juicy details, and context; writing in a narrative style that retells history as a page turning epic. By far the most fun I've had reading a history book- as with favorite fiction, I was disappointed to come to its final page. A must read for adults and older children(a bit too gory for most elementary school aged) who think American History is boring.

The American Revolution

I believe that Albert Marrin did a wonderful job in presenting the American Revolution. This book creates a vivid picture of the war and the struggles of the individuals involved in the war.
