Description

---

A fort and a siege. Two fleets facing each other. Redcoats and revolutionaries. The birth of a nation between blood and pain and heroism and madness ... Few military images are more shocking than that of a fort under siege that must - against all logic and at all costs - resist. Bernard Cornwell embarks on one of his most extraordinary novels, recounting the famous Penobscot Expedition in the summer of 1779 in America.
