Original Publish Date: 1933
Country: United States
Genre: Historical Fiction

Synopsis: "Rabble in Arms has been called 'the greatest historical novel written about America,' and there is little doubt that as the portrayer of the early American scene in all its excitement and its rich human drama... Kenneth Roberts has done real spade work in historical research, has corrected a number of errors in history, and has supplied many details omitted by conventional historians. But while this great book is accurate history, graphically told, it is something more. Against this background of stirring events the author relates an appealing tale of young love. We witness the impact of war upon the lives and fortunes of the men and women caught up in its tumult."
