Book Review: 1776 by David McCullough

1776recalls the events of that fateful year in America. It follows General Washington's actions as well as other famous and less-famous players in that early part of the war (the part where they weren't really winning).

An extremely excellent book about this historic year in America. I loved how McCullough at once made Washington appear as he is idolized today and also as a real human with mistakes and quirks. I was also very much surprised at much of the events described, mostly because I know so very little (unfortuately) about the Revolutionary War. It wasn't too long (which I appreciated) and made the battles pretty exciting, though the beginning seemed to drag a bit.
