Description
"Rick Atkinson, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning An Army at Dawn, turns his attention to a new war, and in the initial volume of the Revolution Trilogy he tells the story of the first twenty-one months of America's violent effort to forge a new nation. From the battles at Lexington and Concord in spring 1775 to those at Trenton and Princeton in winter 1776-77, American militiamen and then the ragged Continental Army take on the world's most formidable fighting force and struggle to avoid annihilation. It is a gripping saga alive with astonishing characters: Henry Knox, the former bookseller with an uncanny understanding of artillery; Nathanael Greene, the blue-eyed bumpkin who becomes one of America's greatest battle captains; Benjamin Franklin, the self-made man who proves himself the nation's wiliest diplomat; George Washington, the commander in chief who learns the difficult art of leadership when the war seems all but lost. The story is also told from the British perspective, which makes the moral conflict between the redcoats and the rebels all the more compelling. Full of riveting details and untold stories, [it] is a tale of heroes and knaves, of sacrifice and blunder, of redemption and profound suffering"--,Provided by publisher.
