1776 Capa dura - 2005
por David McCullough
In this powerful and intensely human account, David McCullough narrates the gripping story of General George Washington's troops in the year of the Declaration of Independence. With extraordinary narrative vitality, McCullough brings to life a cast of diverse characters, including American patriots, British redcoats, Loyalists, mercenaries, politicians, preachers, traitors, spies, and men and women of all kinds caught in the paths of war. This book will appeal to history enthusiasts and anyone interested in discovering the true stories behind America's fight for independence.
Resumo
In this stirring book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.
Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the King’s men, 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.
Here also is the Revolution as experienced by American Loyalists, Hessian mercenaries, politicians, preachers, traitors, spies, men and women of all kinds caught in the paths of war.
At the center of the drama, with Washington, are two young American patriots, who, at first, knew no more of war than what they had read in books Nathanael Greene, a Quaker who was made a general at thirty-three, and Henry Knox, a twenty-five-year-old bookseller who had the preposterous idea of hauling the guns of Fort Ticonderoga overland to Boston in the dead of winter.
