Title: Another Excellent Book by David McCollough
Review: Having read a number of David McCollough books it is not surprising that I find this another example of excellent entertaining and educational reading. McCollough has a way of intertwining historical first-hand accounts with his reflections on the times that make this book a wonderful account of the first year of the Revolutionary War. I have read other books on United States early history and most, while quite good, are forced to "gloss-over" subtleties of the time becuase of the enormous volume of the story that is being told. By focusing on only 1776 McCollough gives the reader the opportunity to learn about the incarnation and early stages of the war--in many ways the year that demonstatrated to many of the time that this was not to be a fast war. I would highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a greater understanding of the time--you will be edutained.
