1776: The Illustrated Edition
It’s hard to imagine improving on David McCullough’s acclaimed masterpiece 1776, but this Illustrated Edition does precisely that. Featuring 140 illustrations and maps, as well as 37 removable replicas of historical documents, including a personal letter from George Washington to his wife, Martha, 1776: The Illustrated Edition is an absolute essential for every history lover's library.
Drawn from voluminous archival sources, including letters and more than 50 revealing diaries, and featuring superb portraits of every important figure in both Britain and America, McCullough’s landmark book offers testimony to the courage and sacrifice of our founding generation, as well as a revealing tribute to the skill and determination of their foes.
Now, thanks to the remarkable images and documents in this handsome and compelling edition, the story of that crucial year can be understood like never before. Eloquently presented and masterfully evocative, 1776: The Illustrated Edition represents the historian’s craft at its very finest. David McCullough, whom the Washington Post hails as “one of our most gifted living writers,” has again crafted a sweeping, majestic work. Additional 99¢ shipping charge.

WONDERFUL

Quick read, one day but all of the extras make the story very meaningful and takes longer.
This book brings life to the revolutionary year of 1776 and general Washington and his cohorts as well as a description of the tactics and the reasons for them, which have historically been cloudy.

This is not just a book, but an spell-bounding museum in a box; a box that brings the year 1776 to life. If you have any interest in the American revolution, this should be required reading. You won't put it down.
