April Morning
Overview & Summary
Fifteen-year-old Adam Cooper is thrust into the very first battle of the American Revolution when British troops confront colonial militia at Lexington in April 1775, and over the course of a single, devastating day, Adam loses his father, kills a man for the first time, and is forced to grow up in the space of a few violent hours. Howard Fast's novel captures the chaos and moral confusion of a war's opening shots from a boy's-eye view.
