*Spectator, The*
'This beautifully constructed book acts as a reminder of how little
has truly changed in the orthodox view of the war and Revolution,
while so much else has done in our perceptions of history.'
' Dr. Holmes... has a wonderful knack for cuttng through the detail
of events to the themes and issues that really matter. The result
is a model of clarity, verve and concision, powered by a formidable
common sense.' - Ronald Hutton, TLS
