I finally finished reading A Few Bloody Noses by Robert Harvey. It's a history of the American Revolution written by a British historian. It was the first time I read anything about that era from a British perspective. I had to fight myself to concede that some of what he had to say about America's founders was true, but just as true is the fact that he omitted much of what made them great. Almost none of them comes off well from this book.
And, Harvey is fixated on the Vietnam War, which he refers to frequently and annoyingly.
Now I'm reading Seabiscuit: An American Legend, which I'm enjoying a lot more than I expected. I'm only about half way through, but it's one of the best sports books I've read. And, I'm not a fan of horse racing.
