Man of War: My Adventures in the World of Historical Reenactment

â‚¬Å“A rollicking good ride.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Jay Winik, bestselling author of April 1865

Itâ‚¬s the middle of a heat wave, and Charlie Schroeder is dressed in heavy clothing and struggling to row a replica eighteenth-century bateau down the St. Lawrence River. Why? Months earlier, Schroeder realized he knew almost nothing about history. But he wanted to learn, so the actorâ‚¬"best known for his role as Mr. Pussy on Sex and the Cityâ‚¬"spent a year reenacting it.

Man of War is Schroederâ‚¬s hilarious account of the time he spent chasing Celts in Arkansas, raiding a Viet Cong village in Virginia, and flirting with frostbite en route to â‚¬Å“Stalingradâ‚¬Â in Colorado. Along the way, he illuminates just how much the past can teach us about the present.
