I was thinking of getting that one a while ago c.d. but I ended up buying something else and forgot about it. I might give it a go after I hear what you say. I know that JM recommended it and he knows his stuff on the subject of Crippen.
Im reading a good one at the moment (even though I’m only 50 pages in) Its A Leap In The Dark by John Ferling about the American Revolution. I’ll have to grit my teeth when I get to the part where you American’s threw all of that tea into the river.

As you likely know, Ferling has written several books dealing with America's revolutionary period. I think that the one you're reading is a good one to start with because it covers a relatively long period of time, from the Seven Years War to the start of Jefferson's presidency. If you want to read another Ferling book after that one, you can choose it by what part or aspect of that period especially interests you. Ferling's overall writings especially focus on the war years, but not exclusively, and sometimes he's straight history, while other times he's more a biographer of historical figures.
