In 1776, acclaimed historian David McCullough tells the intensely human story of the Revolutionary War during the nation's tumultuous beginning, and the ragtag army on whose shoulders the fate of the war and the revolution rested. It is a story of all-too-few victories, of sustained suffering, disease, hunger, desertion, cowardice, disillusionment, defeat, terrible discouragement, and fear. It is also a story of phenomenal courage, bedrock devotion, unparalleled sacrifice, and perseverance on the brink of disaster.
David McCullough has twice received the Pulitzer Prize for Truman and John Adams, and twice received the National Book Award, for The Path Between the Seas and Mornings on Horseback.
