Book Reviews of Fries's Rebellion: The Enduring Struggle for the American Revolution
Book Review: A wonderful example of Newman's storytelling prowess
Summary: 4 Stars
Newman takes his time setting up the context for this book; he explains in detail the political and cultural climate in which it took place. This takes a few chapters, and they aren't the most exciting chapters to read. Once he gets into the telling of the actually rebellion, though, the pace picks up and Newman's wonderful storytelling skills come out clearly on every single page. For anyone interested in Pennsylvania History, or anyone interested in how early Americans viewed their own government and their role in government, this is a very telling read.
