This book describes one piece of the journey in detail. Amazing what soldiers went through. They almost sound like prisoners of war with some marching for miles in snow without shoes and at other times standing in trenches with water to their waists for long periods of time. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"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. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

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.
