Customer Reviews

A nice way to fill in the gaps.

I've read the historical accounts of the Delaware Crossing and the subsequent battle of Trenton. However, Howard Fast's work puts you inside the head of the characters. Granted some of this can be done with historical documents, but it can be clumsy and certainly less literate than this book. It's not a true history book, but it's a great way to get started or to help you visualize what happened.

this book picks up where the movie left off!

if you like the A & E movie, this book answers lots of questions left unanswered and is quite interesting--by the same writer as the screenplay
