"Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned solders. And it is the story of 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. But it is the American commander-in-chief who stands foremost-- Washington, who had never before led an army in battle"--Container. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Abridged audiobook:
I enjoyed learning the history of pivotal battles including the Siege of Boston, with the remarkable tale of Henry Knox bringing the cannons from Fort Ticonderoga, the Battle of Long Island and the Battle of Trenton. McCullough does a good job of describing Washington's interactions with the government, the all-volunteer Continental Army, and the attitudes of the British.
