Price: $6.50

Customer Review:

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
I greatly enjoyed "Almost a Miracle", which reviewed the Revolutionary war from the point of view of the military. It is intended by the author as a companion volume to "A Leap in the Dark" (2003) which covers the political side of the war. (Full disclosure: I have not read the earlier book.)more info
