No military historian working today brings as much gusto to his work as Patrick O'Donnell。 He plunges into his research and keeps digging until he finds details that many missed before。 That's what made The Indispensables such a vital and important book for me。 There have been so many books written about the founders and the American Revolution that it seemed as if there was nothing left to say。 O'Donnell shows how wrong that is， just as he shows how this small band of men from Marblehead made o No military historian working today brings as much gusto to his work as Patrick O'Donnell。 He plunges into his research and keeps digging until he finds details that many missed before。 That's what made The Indispensables such a vital and important book for me。 There have been so many books written about the founders and the American Revolution that it seemed as if there was nothing left to say。 O'Donnell shows how wrong that is， just as he shows how this small band of men from Marblehead made one of the most important parts of the Revolution possible。 This is a book that demands your attention。 。。。more

Wow！ O’Donnell unearths and brings to life the story of a truly indispensable and yet largely unknown regiment who played such a vital role in saving Washington， his army， and America herself。 I love it when an author is truly a historian as well as a gifted storyteller。 The diversity element makes this an especially relevant story for our time as well。 Highly recommend for those who love American history as well as those who would like a new perspective on an old story。

“The Indispensibles” completely enveloped me and transported me back in time。 Vividly and beautifully-written， it tells the crucial story of the diverse Marblehead Regiment， the members who played a key role as a mainspring for the ideas of the Revolution and who saved the Continental Army multiple times。 I learned so much that I never knew about our precious founding。 Cinematic and epic， “The Indispensibles” should be made into a feature film ， and it required reading in all middle schools， hig “The Indispensibles” completely enveloped me and transported me back in time。 Vividly and beautifully-written， it tells the crucial story of the diverse Marblehead Regiment， the members who played a key role as a mainspring for the ideas of the Revolution and who saved the Continental Army multiple times。 I learned so much that I never knew about our precious founding。 Cinematic and epic， “The Indispensibles” should be made into a feature film ， and it required reading in all middle schools， high schools， and universities。 It is one of the best books I have ever been privileged to read。 。。。more

This book revolves around a group of men from Marblehead， Massachusetts and their roles in various stages of the Revolutionary War。 The book is well researched and written。 The group plays key roles in the events leading up to the War， the formation of the Navy and were the only group to successfully row across the Delaware in order for Washington to spring his surprise attack on the British。 The group interacts with many of the more famous people in the Boston area at the time – Samuel Adams， J This book revolves around a group of men from Marblehead， Massachusetts and their roles in various stages of the Revolutionary War。 The book is well researched and written。 The group plays key roles in the events leading up to the War， the formation of the Navy and were the only group to successfully row across the Delaware in order for Washington to spring his surprise attack on the British。 The group interacts with many of the more famous people in the Boston area at the time – Samuel Adams， John Adams， John Warren， etc。 Those interested in the history of the United States and the Revolutionary War will find this to be an informative book。I received a free Kindle copy of this book courtesy of Net Galley and the publisher with the understanding that I would post a review on Net Galley， Goodreads， Amazon， my blog page and my Facebook page。 。。。more
