"1776"

This #1 National bestseller tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence.  That was the year when the whole American cause was riding on the success of the Continental army, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.  Written as a companion piece to his celebrated biography of John Adams, David McCullough's 1776 is another landmark in the literature of American history.
