Publisher Comments:

When you read this novel about April 19, 1775, you will see the British redcoats marching in a solid column through your town. Your hands will be sweating and you will shake a little as you grip your musket because never have you shot with the aim of killing a man. But you will shoot, and shoot again and again while your shoulder aches from your musket's kick and the tight, disciplined red column bleeds and wavers and breaks and you begin to shout at the top of your lungs because you are there, at the birth of freedom — you're a veteran of the Battle of Lexington, and you've helped whip the King's best soldiers...

Review:

"Invites comparison with Crane's Red Badge Of Courage... I think this is an even better book." -- The New York Times

Howard Fast's April Morning is an incredibly powerful first person historical fiction. I know this because I can recall certain scenes and the emotions they evoke after having read it only once - and this in the eighth grade, twenty-three years ago! This book would make a perfect fictional supplement to the non-fiction histories by McCullough, Ellis, and others that are now so popular.
