![]() ![]() ![]() There are few true phenomenal writers in each generation, and the 67-year-old Atkinson is at the head of the list for the current generation. So, having completed his Liberation Trilogy on victory in North Africa, Sicily, Italy, and Western Europe during World War Two, I was delighted to learn he was now going to turn his considerable skills to the American Revolution. My time with Rick is time well spent and immensely rewarding. Taken a volume at a time, my past 10 years have been enriched by four books and now a fifth. The historical works of Rick Atkinson are the current Glenfarclas 105 of historical writing. It is hard to come by and I savor every single drink-I could drink it every day, but it would all go away quickly, so I have three bottles to tithe me over the coming years. I love a single malt scotch and my favorite is GlenFarclas 105. ![]() The British Are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775–1777 (the Revolution Trilogy) by Rick Atkinson (Henry Holt Press, 2019) $40. ![]()
