I noticed that Amazon has an absolute ton of free history books for the Kindle. I grabbed a bunch, and I'm working my way through "The War of Independence" by John Fiske. It's pretty crap. I'm about 3/4 through it and it's not very specific about anything. All the tax and anti-Patriot acts that were passed are just briefly mentioned with little to no detail, all the battles are just mentioned in passing of who won, and who lost. I guess you get what you pay for. Avoid. On the opposite end, I'm nearly done with "The Real History of the American Revolution: A New Look at the Past " by Alan Axelrod and it goes into so much detail that you're almost inclined to take notes to keep it all straight. Lots of side bars, maps, engravings, all in full color. The format is really great. Huge thumbs up. Hardcover only as far as I know. Philthy fucked around with this message at 16:27 on Oct 15, 2012 |
