    About this ebook

    The second of Roberts's epic novels of the American Revolution, Rabble in Arms was hailed by one critic as the greatest historical novel written about America upon its publication in 1933. Love, treachery, ambition, and idealism motivate an unforgettable cast of characters in a magnificent novel renowned not only for the beauty and horror of its story but also for its historical accuracy.

      Just starting this book. Am enjoying it so far two Americans in Britain at the start of the Revolution encounter an American/French woman and her Canadian Uncle. The protagonists have found a berth on board a French frigate returning to the States...
    • 5/5
      Accurate and colorful account of the early days of the American Revolution. You learn a healthy respect for all the Benedict Arnold did for the cause before becoming disillusioned with the way the war was going. The reader gets caught up in the events and become friends with the characters. I started with Arundel and, in 2008, read all of the Kenneth Roberts books in a row that were on the subject of the war.
    • 5/5
      A gripping story of intrigue during the American Revolution. My high school history teacher gave me this novel to read before I went into AP American History. It got me really excited to be taking the class.
