1776 (David McCullough) ***

294 pages. Excellent book. It follows the Continental Army, George Washington, and important events (like the Declaration of Independence) during the year 1776. I enjoyed it more than "John Adams", possibly because it's shorter, but also because there's a little more action. I finished with the impression of how miraculous it is that we won the Revolutionary War, considering all the difficulties and disadvantages that had to be overcome in the early years.
