A surprisingly balanced account of America's year of independence, telling the story of the fields of battle from both sides of the engagement. It is hard to conceive after reading this book just how many opportunities were lost by the rebellion during that fateful year, and how many soldiers just gave up or defected to the Loyalist cause - and were it not for Washington's gamble of crossing the Delaware to retake Trenton, New Jersey, the entire war would have been lost. I have already read several of David McCullough's books and I want to read more.
