Full Description:
In this stirring book, author 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 of independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper. The darkest hours of that tumultuous year were as dark as any Americans have ever known. Especially in our own tumultuous time, 1776 is a powerful testimony to how much is owed to a rare few in that brave founding epoch, and what a miracle it was that things turned out as they did. Written as a companion work to his celebrated biography of John Adams, McCullough's 1776 is another landmark in the literature of American history. |
