Rick Atkinson on The British Are Coming: The War for America, Lexington to Princeton (7/1/19)
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. Full of riveting details and untold stories, “The British Are Coming,” the first in his historical trilogy about the American Revolution, is a tale of heroes and knaves, of sacrifice and blunder, of redemption and profound suffering. In this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI, Rick talks about “The British Are Coming” and what he hopes to add to the historical understanding of our country’s earliest days.
