    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. McCullough's prose is flowing and intense. I don't generally enjoy history books, but this is a must-read. America in 1776 was a far more raw, far more interesting place than I had thought. McCullough does a great job of analyzing Washington as man and leader. Every highschooler should read this to gain a better understanding of how our nation began.

    I'm not a real history buff, but I just loved this book. It covered only one year in the Revolution, but I got a better perspective of the era than I ever did in U.S. history class in school.

    It always amazes me how such a remarkable group of people came together in one place and one time to form this country. Such ordinary men accomplishing such extraordinary deeds!!
    McCullouch makes history like a very interesting novel -- the characters and the actions read just like a novel.

    Great book! A must read for US history buffs. If I were not living in the United States of America I would not believe George could have won. What an amazing story we are as a nation and written down so well by David McCullough. Thanks Dave and thank you George Washington!
