Revolutionary Snipers is an Amazon and Barnes & Noble Best Seller“Fantastic writing. From the first sentence of Revolutionary Snipers, Patrick O'Donnell grabs his reader by the collar and pulls him into a world populated with hard-drinking, rebellious men whose deadly marksmanship skills with their remarkable Pennsylvania rifles would play a pivotal role in securing our nation's independence. Patrick O'Donnell's taut narrative and impeccable research brings these remarkable men—and women—to life in the pages of this masterpiece. Not to be missed.”John R. Bruning, author of Fifty-Three Days on Starvation Island “This is a fantastic book, a riveting look at the formative struggle of this nation, zeroing in on the heart of the combat, written with a sniper’s sharp focus on the drama, endurance and heroism of America’s first marksmen. Not to be missed!” Alex Kershaw, bestselling author of Against All Odds “Savage, fearless, and often impossible to control, these backwoods warriors fought from Boston to Saratoga, helping turn rebellion into nationhood. Rich in research and charged with action, this is a gripping portrait of the Revolution’s most dangerous men and the violent birth of an American way of war.” James Lacey, Horner Chair of War Studies at Marine Corps University and author of The Washington War and Moment of Battle “A rousing account of the American Revolution's most unconventional soldiers—ragtag, rugged, fiercely independent and sometimes hard to manage, they nonetheless played a crucial role in some of the conflict’s most important fights.” Don N. Hagist, editor, Journal of the American Revolution “The excitement—and bitter violence—of Revolutionary War combat comes alive in Patrick O'Donnell's gripping narrative of the riflemen who formed the sharp end of Washington's sword in the struggle for independence. Grounded in superb research, Revolutionary Snipers outlines the soul of America's citizen soldier, just as vital today as it was 250 years ago.” Edward G. Lengel, author of General George Washington: A Military Life “Combat writing at its best.” —Wall Street Journal “A great American writer.” —Clive Cussler, New York Times bestselling author “One of the world’s preeminent military historians.” —Military Review, U.S. Army “One of the best historians of his generation.” —Washington Times The Unvanquished is Selected as Amazon’s Best History Book for May |
