An abridged version of a review of his book states: “Alex Myers’ debut novel, Revolutionary, is more than an accounting of Deborah Sampson’s amazing Revolutionary war feat of enlisting and serving a three-year tour in the army disguised as a man; it is an exploration of the irony of such circumstances. In following her true nature–who she is at heart–Deborah creates for herself a duplicitous life fraught with personal risk.”
