Title: George is the man
Review: The book was just under 300 pages. It was a page turner. The history was accurately told and well footnoted. The force of George Washington's personality and the loyality he engendered was amazing. How precious our freedom seems when you consider what George and his troops had to go through and ultimately how lucky they were. I enjoyed this book. I am not sure why I am not giving 5 starts. I wasn't impressed, I guess. The book felt formulaic. The year 1776 seemed like such an artificial construction. Too much of the war went on before and after 1776. Too much was left out.I am definitely reading "John Adams" soon. I enjoyed the writer's style and people told me after I read 1776 that this wasn't his best book. If that is the case, I'm strongly looking forward to reading more from McCullough.
