Firefly: The Many Faces of Courage

Summary: Be Entertained while you LEARN
Review: The big surprise of this book is the ease of its prose, that takes the slow-moving day to day happenings of the American Revolution and makes it suspenseful in a way that it, in reality, may not have been. Additionally, the reader learns SO MUCH about the technical and strategic aspects of this early war -- we all take for granted that it was fought...and we won...but have we ever stopped to consider what that victory consisted of? Have you ever asked yourself how scraggly, uncoordinated Americans managed to overcome the highly-developed British army? Read on, learn, and you will be truly proud to be an American...a perfect companion for much of the patriotism that surrounds the anniversary of September 11th.
