1776

• 1776 - David McCullough

This was a great book. He follows the conflict between the Americans and British during the year of 1776. He uses sources from both sides to present the events in Boston, New York, and New Jersery during the year. He also briefly covers event in Philadelphia. McCullough writes in an easy to read style that's great for someone who may have not spent much time studying the American Revolution. While the book would still be considered a survey by a historian, it's not like the typical surveys that tend to lack substance. Also, there is an extensive bibliography full of books that would be wonderful to read.
