Synopsis
America's beloved and distinguished historian presents, in a book of breathtaking excitement, drama, and narrative force, the stirring story of the year of our nation's birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions, In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence -- when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper. Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, "1776" is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the King's men, the British commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little known. At the center of the drama, with Washington, are two young American patriots, who, at first, knew no more of war than what they had read in books -- Nathanael Greene, a Quaker who was made a general at thirty-three, and Henry Knox, a twenty-five-year-old bookseller who had the preposterous idea of hauling the guns of Fort Ticonderoga overland to Boston in the dead of winter. But it is the American commander-in-chief who stands foremost -- Washington, who had never before led an army in battle. Written as a companion work to his celebrated biography of John Adams, David McCullough's "1776" is another landmark in the literature of American history., In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence -- when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.

    Great Read

    This was a very good book. The history was great and it reads like a novel. It isn't dry and boring. When I got to the end I was disappointed. I wasn't disappointed in the book but that I had arrived at the end and wanted more! I wanted this book to be like 600 pages more! The author has that wonderful uncanny ability to create an ongoing visual play out in your mind as you read.

    As only McCullough can

    1776 by David McCullough is a great historical writer's tour-de-force. From the pomp and circumstance of King George III's London to the dangerous, deadly and hard fought resistance of the defiant American Colonials, this authentic, beautifully written account of our Nation's birth comes to life on every page. I gave it a 5, but if I could, I would give it a 10. David McCullough hit all the notes with this one. If you haven't read it, put it on your list. You will not be disappointed.

    Great read for history buffs and patriots alike!

    This book was hard to put down. It's a good look into the victories and losses, as well as the harsh conditions that General Washington and his ragtag army faced during 1776, backed up by historical documents and illustrations. It's a great read for any red-blooded, freedom-loving American Patriot!
