1776
In “1776,” David McCullough breathes life into the pivotal year of America’s birth. With his trademark storytelling prowess, he transports readers to the battlefields and backrooms of the Revolution. I was captivated by the vivid portraits of Washington, Knox, and other key figures. McCullough’s meticulous research and engaging prose make history feel immediate and personal. This book rekindled my appreciation for the courage and perseverance of those who fought for independence.
