Jim's Review
🐛
McCullough does it again — he takes a year everyone thinks they know and turns it into a nail-biting thriller. You'll be genuinely worried about whether the Continental Army will survive, even though you know how it ends. The detail is incredible, the characters are vivid, and the writing flows like a novel. It reads fast, and it will make you want to visit Valley Forge. Four worms — history at its most gripping.
