Earlier this week I had the pleasure of being the first stop on a Blog Tour for Man of War, the fourth book of T.J. London's American Revolutionary War series, The Rebels and Red Coats Saga.
With this fresh in my mind, it was easy to select which old review to promote today. For this post I'm going back to 2014 when I reviewed Bernard Cornwell's Revolutionary War novel, The Fort.
The story relates the events of The Penobscot Expedition of 1779, when an American armada
sailed down to Maine to stop a force of around 1,000 British soldiers from establishing a fort there. Among the historical figures featured is a young lieutenant by the name of John Moore, who rose to become Lieutenant-General and died in 1809 at the Battle of Corunna during the Peninsular War. I remember that the mention of John Moore was one of the reasons I chose to read this book.

Oh... I didn't see this before! Thanks for participating!
