Just kidding. I haven’t read anything by him. I did like Tom Wolfe’s new novel, “Back to Blood”.

As I get further along I will add my opinion on the Bunker Hill book.

I think that additions of factoids from original sources can be used to make a distant figure human or to belittle them with trivia that is not typical of the record. I do like his notes at the back where he cites why and wherefrom he has written certain angles on events in each chapter.

By the way, LS, keep up the good work. I see you have another on on the New History shelves that I need to get. Your stuff is always outstanding.
