I didn't "read" that book, but I "read" that book. Ha. I listened to the unabridged audio version. I do that sometimes in my travels in the car. The local library had the audio book!
Best thing I read about the Revolution was an essay that was about IIRC 14 reason why the Revolution should've failed. I believe it may be in a book of essays regarding military miracles or something like that I have somewhere. We moved last year and a lot of stuff like books (I have too many) are still boxed up because my shelf is full. If I can locate it I'll let you know what it is. I've also got a collection of essays called "How to lose a battle" that's pretty entertaining and is currently on my shelf.
The Liberation will not be televised--- when it arrives like lightning in the skies!
