In 1777, aiming to crush the American rebellion and win for himself a lasting fame, British General John Burgoyne sets out from Canada with a massive army. Losing the help of his Indian allies and slowed by the nearly impassable terrain, the flamboyant Burgoyne finds himself locked in the battle of his life at a place called Saratoga. There, under the heroic leadership of General Benedict Arnold, the rustic American force claims an unlikely victory, and a turning point is reached in the American Revolution. Filled with heart-pounding action and true stories of intrigue, bravery, and patriotism, Volume 4 of Prelude to Glory captures the high adventure of America's quest for independence, a struggle that would have surely failed except for the hand of Providence.
MY REVIEW: Ron Carter has taken a family and wove it into the Revolutionary War in such a way that you feel their fears and their desires. In this volume he tells the amazing experiences of the British General John Burgoyne losing the help of the Indian allies and the great leadership of General Benedict Arnold. I love how he shows the hand of Providence seemed to enter in at each crucial point. A book for all Americans.
