We’re up in arms about #BookFaceFriday!
You say you want a revolution. Well, you know, we all want to change the world. If you devour military history books, love a good historical fiction, or are just looking for something new to read, check out what’s being showcased on the Nebraska OverDrive Library home page. you’ll find titles like this week’s #bookface, “The Trial and Execution of the Traitor George Washington: A Novel” by Charles Rosenberg (Harleqin Audio, 2018) which is a historical fiction read touted as “A thought-provoking novel that imagines what would have happened if the British had succeeded in kidnapping General George Washington.” It’s available as an audiobook through Nebraska OverDrive Libraries and is currently featured in the “250th Anniversary of the American Revolution” curated collection, along with many other novels and nonfiction centered around this particular piece of American history.
“If you love history, you love to speculate. When it comes to the American Revolution, Charles Rosenberg can speculate with the best of them: What if the British captured George Washington and spirited him off to England? And that’s just the beginning of this hugely satisfying journey through time… a fascinating premise, a brisk pace, a storytelling high-wire act performed as deftly, convincingly, and entertainingly as it can be done. If you love historical speculation, you will love this novel.”
— William Martin, New York Times bestselling Author of Citizen Washington and The Lost Constitution
