An international bestseller by one of America's greatest historians.

America's most acclaimed historian presents the intricate story of the year of the birth of the United States of America. 1776 tells two gripping stories- how a group of squabbling, disparate colonies became the United States, and how the British Empire tried to stop them. A story with a cast of amazing characters from George III to George Washington, to soldiers and their families, this exhilarating book is one of the great pieces of historical narrative.
