Book Review: 1776
Summary: 4 Stars
A very readable history, of THE famous year, that makes George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams,, Benjamin Franklin, and so many others very human and fascinating. As soon as I scarfed it down, I sent it to my Seabee son serving in Iraq, a proud patrio. He accidentally showed it to his roomie who can't put it down. So my son is waiting patiently to see it. He's riding convoy security outside the wire, so you may understand why I'm happy to send him anything distracting for the few down hours he has. This does the trick beautifully!! This is a page turner that details amazing feats of battle, ingenuity, desperation, and triumph in the face of overwhelming odds, disease, and pitiful conditions. I'm left feeling that we modern, watered-down Americans need to all discover our past. I feel so rich having done so.
Trouble is, now I want to know what happened the other five years of the war--how exactly DID Washington and the foreparents turn that impossible feat around?? I can't believe my son in one war has turned me on to the war that makes us all willing to risk precious lives to defend the freedoms won in it. I'm ashamed it took so long~
