Title: Respect for Washington
Review: 1776 is an outstanding account of the Revolutionary War. It is not intimidating in any way as I remember all my history text books to be. It covers the war from both sides and allows the reader to make his or her own mind up about who is a hero and who is not.Washington was a hero without a doubt, but in 1776 we see the human side of the man which is in stark contrast to the stoic face we see on the dollar bill. In many ways 1776 has reminded me what the term "hero" should encompass.I shudder at the thought of taking the trash to the curb on a cold morning wearing my PJs and slippers. I can not imagine what it must've been like for the Continental Army to march across the frozen grounds of Boston, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.On second thought, yes I can, thanks to this wonderful book, which had me saying, "God Bless America!"
