Ha! I am reading Jeff Shaara’s ‘The Glorious Cause,’ which relates that story within the novel. I was wondering if it was true or just poetic license.
If anyone loves historical fiction, Shaara’s ‘Rise to Rebellion’ and the sequel I just mentioned are good reads about the American Revolution.
Are you at the place where the really old Hessen general (name slips my mind) and Cornwallis are talking and the Hessen tells Cornwallis to read this Roman book? If you have read that part, can you tell me the name of the book?
