The Crossing
                    Winston Churchill

    I shall never forget that day. Polly Ann left my side
only to feed the children and to keep watch out of the
loopholes, and I lay on my back, listening and listening
to the shots. At least these became scattered. Then, though
we strained our ears, we heard them no more. Was the
fort taken?  The sun slid across the heavens and shot
narrow blades of light, now through one loophole and now
through another, until a ray slanted from the western wall
and rested upon the red-and-black paint of the two dead
bodies in the corner. I starred with horror.


The author writing down this historical fiction was very thoughtful.
Churchill always has great thoughts on every scenario and he ties
fiction and historical facts together well that draw the reader in.
I love this book.  I mean churchill has thoughts on how hard it was
to be a military leader in this time when situations were rough and
challenging. He shows the American Revolution in a way that
pays respect to the men who fought and I love it.!!!!!
