In this riveting historical account, David McCullough provides an exhaustive look at the boiling hostilities between American forces and British regulars in the year 1776. He examines how a group of ragtag farmers defeated the world's greatest empire under the unifying leadership of George Washington, focusing on the harrowing fight for independence during those momentous 12 months.
David McCullough, born in 1933 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was educated there and at Yale. Writer, historian, lecturer, and teacher, he has twice received the Pulitzer Prize (in 1993 for Truman and in 2001 for John Adams), and has received the Francis Parkman Prize, the Los Angeles Times Book Award, and two National Book Awards, for history and for biography.
His other previous books include The Johnstown Flood, The Great Bridge, The Path Between the Seas, Mornings on Horseback, and Brave Companions.
A book signing will immediately follow the talk. Please note that Mr. McCullough will sign one backlist title and no more than two copies of 1776, up to a maximum of three books per person. (These guidelines are slightly different than originally announced.) Thank you for understanding.
