The Fort: A Novel of the Revolutionary War -- Bernard Cornwell

<p><strong>From <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author Bernard Cornwell--one of the greatest yet little-known skirmishes of the Revolution: the Penobscot Expedition, a battle that would reveal the true character of a legendary Revolutionary hero.</strong></p><p>This new novel takes place during the very early days of the rebellion, or the War of Independence, in 18th century Massachusetts before Washington and before the organization of a colonial army. A small British fleet with a few soldiers on board had sailed in to be met, to their surprise, with an overwhelming strength of local militia. </p><p>Cornwell tells the story on both sides of the conflict, based largely on real figures, including of course Paul Revere (famous from the much later poem).</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Bernard Cornwell<br><b>Publisher:</b> Harper Paperbacks<br><b>Published:</b> 01/03/2012<br><b>Pages:</b> 496<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.88lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.93h x 5.34w x 0.86d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780062010872
