In 1776, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David McCullough turns his storyteller's eye to the pivotal first year of the American Revolution, the twelve months in which a ragtag, il l-equipped Continental Army faced the full might of the British Empire and, against staggering odds, kept the cause of independence alive. Moving from the siege of Boston to the disastrous defeats around New York to the daring, morale-saving crossing of the Delaware, McCullough brings the era vividly to life through the soldiers, generals, and ordinary men who lived it, chief among them George Washington, tested as never before. Meticulously researched and grippingly told, 1776 is narrative history at its finest and most accessible: the dramatic, human story behind a year that changed the world.
