Revenge at Kings Mountain: Crisis in Conscience Paperback – August 25, 2015

DeVos does it again, but there's a unique aspect... a Revolutionary War battle that is little known but arguably as pivotal as Washington's attack on Trenton. His research is thorough and translates into characters you want to see succeed. The climactic battle scene is worthy of the tension built by the convergence of men with many motivations: a fledgling nation, the British Empire, the status quo. Revenge is a large component of the moral lessons drawn here, and DeVos does not let the reader down. King's Mountain just outside of Charlotte will be my next historical site visit! Well done, sir.

It really didn't engage me. I can't imagine the speech portrayed in this being used at the time. The writing is stiff and wooden. By the time you finish reading this (if you indeed make it through the book) you'll be totally sick of the phrases "he was a good man" or "they are good men".

A very readable book and makes you think.

Excellent read, thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot also.

A personal view of the emotional conflicts between loyalists and patriots pitting friends and brothers against each other. A revealing look at the passion of their cause.

Good insight into the difference of opinion between the Colonials concerning the split with England. Historically pretty accurate and very well written.

Excellent account of one of the lesser know battles of the Revolutionary War.Very Readable.The best of his three writings to date.

Excellent read!
