1776 - first US edition
by David McCullough - signed
Bestselling historian and two-time Pulitzer winner McCullough follows up John
Adams by staying with America's founding, focusing on a year rather than an
individual: a momentous 12 months in the fight for independence. How did a group
of ragtag farmers defeat the world's greatest empire? As McCullough vividly
shows, they did it with a great deal of suffering, determination, ingenuity—and,
the author notes, luck. Although brief by McCullough's standards, this is a
narrative tour de force, exhibiting all the hallmarks the author is known for:
fascinating subject matter, expert research and detailed, graceful prose.
Throughout, McCullough deftly captures both sides of the conflict.
