Title: A good introduction to our nation's history
Review: David McCullough's book, though not thorough in introducing the reader to all the twists and turns of our nation's early history, does an excellent job in introducing George Washington, King George of England and the daunting task that Washington had in trying to hold a truly "rag tag" army together while the British tried to vanquish the Revolutionaries in the Colonies.Washington is seen as a solid general who knows when to fight and when to retreat. The British, for numerous reasons, never took the fight to the Americans when they had the opportunity to do so. The book will help anyone get a better understanding of how fragile the Revolution really was in 1776 as McCullough does an excellent job in writing about that historical year.If you want a good start (a well written primer) on our nations' early history you can't go wrong with this book.
