David McCullough tells the timeless human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence. Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the British commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little know. Washington, had never before led an army in battle. The darkest hours of that tumultuous time, 1776 is powerful testimony to how much is owed to a rare few in that brave founding epoch, and what a miracle it was that things turned out as they did. Approximate running time of 12 hours. Unabridged. Read by the author.
