The Day is Ours!

"Telling this story from the perspective, and often in the words, of men in the ranks, Dwyer has written a dramatic account of this turning point in the American Revolution."

~James M. McPherson, author of Battle Cry of Freedom

"[Dwyer] has cast his net wide, taking advantage of newly found or long-obscure accounts published during the celebration of the Revolution's bicentennial. We learn exactly how it was in that momentous time, from letters, diaries and recollections of officers and men on both sides and civilians caught in the middle."

~New York Times Book Review

"Dwyer has put together a wonderful, lively account that reflects a reporter's respect for quotes from eyewitnesses . . . He presents the facts and lets history speak for itself. The result is enthralling."

~Philadelphia Inquirer

"The courage of the common soldier who stayed and fought when the sunshine patriots had all gone home is a story that deserves to be told - and Mr. Dwyer has told it well."

~Wall Street Journal

"An excellent use of sources and telling quotations highlight this popular history."

~Library Journal

"It is a human story well worth telling, and Dwyer . . . recaptures it superbly."

~Cleveland Plain Dealer

"A concise, yet highly informative account that makes for an engaging read."

~Princeton Packet

"Recommended to today's American millions, who owe so much to the sturdy hundreds who saved our Revolution."

~San Diego Magazine
