In case you haven't seen this, it is a series of emails about the F&I war by am "embedded journalist" or the time. Follow the link and you can sign up to receive them. Unfortunately, the journalism in slanted toward the British side.

Why not?? We won!

Life's journey is not to
arrive at the grave safely
in a well preserved body,
but rather to skid in sideways,
totally worn out, shouting
'...holy sh*t ...what a ride!'

True, but payback came about 20 years later.

I signed up for this, and now that I have received half-a-dozen emails, or so, I finally started reading them. They're actually quite good for some basic SYWINA (Seven Years' War In North America) history, in spite of the Redcoat bias. After all, how many Americans know diddley-squat about anything prior to, oh, about last week!

I just had a look at Phineus' website. Looks interesting, but I have a question:

Does anyone know if the series of "reports" is finite, or does it just keep going?

IIRC, you get 17 reports after the introductory email.
