1776 by David McCullough Large Print Edition

Paperback. Almost perfect condition; large print makes it perfect for an older family member or anyone interested in American history! Synopsis from back cover: "1776 is the story of America's tumultuous beginning, and those who, at great sacrifice, fought for what we assume to be our rightful heritage and precious ideals. It is the story of two Georges: King George III of England and George Washington, each man a patriot in his own way, each with his own strengths and limitations. It is the story of the extraordinary, young Yankee general Nathanael Greene, and the aristocratic British commander, William Howe, of men in the ranks, soldiers' wives, camp followers and innocent bystanders. This is narrative history at its best: powerful testimony to how much is owed to a rare few in that brave, founding era, and what a miracle it was that things turned out as they did."
