Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This book on the American Revolution for youngsters is nowhere surpassed. Bobrick's ANGEL IN THE WHIRLWIND (a book about the Revolution for adults) has become the standard one-volume history of the subject. FIGHT FOR FREEDOM is an excellent companion volume, with many of the same virtues--clarity, intelligence, learning, and nobility of mind--that characterize the earlier work. Bobrick's current book about the Civil War (MASTER OF WAR:THE LIFE OF GENERAL GEORGE H. THOMAS) is yet another gem. (Let's hope he does a companion volume again for youngsters!) In MASTER OF WAR, you can read about a great soldier who (in contrast to Gen. Grant) refused to sacrifice his troops to useless slaughter, won every battle he ever fought, and (unlike Gen. Sherman, for example) insisted on upholding the dignity of black soldiers who enlisted in Union ranks.
