A unique series of historical adventure novels by the modern American writer Jack Cavanaugh tells about the spiritual formation of the American nation using the example of a chronicle of the life of one family (from the 17th century to the present day). Thanks to a dynamic, professionally written plot, complex intrigue, and a bizarre interweaving of true facts and fiction, Jack Cavanaugh's works are a constant success among readers. Twins Jacob and Esau Morgan have been gripped by the spirit of competition since childhood. And after one brother stole the other’s bride, real enmity flared up between them, which did not subside for a minute. In those years, North America was going through difficult times: the War of Independence began. Brave and determined Jacob unconditionally takes the side of the revolution, soft and dreamy Esau becomes its consistent opponent. Only after going through the harsh school of war, only freed from selfishness and anger, will the brothers be able to forgive each other and understand that there is always a place in the world for self-sacrifice, friendship and love. The novel “Patriots” - the third book in the series - is written on a large historical material.< /p>
