| Post subject: | The Philadelphia Campaign: Your Reviews? |
I recently completed Volume One and am now in the middle of Volume Two of Thomas McGuire's <i>The Philadelphia Campaign</i>. How many other club members have read these works and what are your opinions? I read <i>Washington's Crossing</i> last October and was blown away! I'm still finding <i>The Philadelphia Campaign</i> a great read, but much less engrossing. The first-hand account, primary source format works fine for battle action, but I don't think it really works for the "bigger picture", strategic aspects of the subject. I also think it could have benefitted from a few more maps; I had to refer to other books to help me follow the strategic and progress of the action. Bottom line: I am greatly enjoying the work and would heartily reccommend it. My slight dissapointment is probably primarily due to the fact that it came on the heels of my fantastic experience with <i>Washington's Crossing</i>. Other opinions? |
