From the battles at Lexington and Concord in spring 1775 to those at Trenton and Princeton in winter 1777, Rick Atkinson’s new book “The British Are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775-1777” recounts the American militiamen and ragged Continental Army soldiers who took on the world’s most formidable fighting force.
