Swashbuckling Captain America saves the girl and the good guys, while battling forces within and without America who want to destroy freedom. David McDonald does a great job of showing both the sorrowful side of Steve Rogers and his heroic side, although perhaps both sides are the same. Rogers is a man out of time. His era was WWII, big bands, swing music, small town America and fighting enemies who clearly were evil. In 2016, the lines are not so clearly drawn, and, at times, Rogers has a hard time understanding how certain forces within his own government can conduct black ops and cavalierly restrict freedom in the name of the "greater good." Don't expect to only be entertained by this book (and it is entertaining), you may also find yourself siding with Rogers and questioning whether two wrongs actually can ever make a right. (I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.)
