Why read it?

1 author picked Saratoga as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

John Luzader was an Army Ranger in World War II, and later park historian at the Saratoga Battlefield National Park. On the only occasion we met, John seemed discouraged about writing this book. Fortunately, I was not the only one who urged him to press on. The result is this fine military history of what was a decisive campaign of the American Revolution. It is likely that no one who has written about the campaign has known more about it.

From Dean's list on the 1777 Saratoga campaign.
