Ratings from ABS active members:
Hartford Brown Broadcloth III: 4.0 / 5 stars
- not as good as Gordon Wood. Wood more engaging on the personalities and culture of the time.
Cornelius Crowninshield III: 5 / 5 stars **
- best ending of the Oxford series. Never a part that wasn't engaging. Surprised me by the balanced take on FDR. ***
Chester A. Worthington III: 4.5 / 5 stars
- second half of the book was lacking in the detail that was in the first half of the book. Missing the soldier's narrative in the war.
