#$ Almost a Miracle The American Victory in the War of Independence

For nearly 600 pages, Ferling does an excellent job of explaining how the United States Continental army leveraged French help to exploit British mistakes on the battlefield and poor strategic choices made in London. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, the key military engagements, from Bunker Hill to Yorktown, are described in rich detail. George Washington, along with all the other key players, are portrayed as flawed characters, but capable of flashes of brilliance. For readers like me who seek true history instead of hagiography, this book is a breath of fresh air.
