In the second volume of the landmark American Revolution trilogy by the Pulitzer Prizewinning and #1 New York Times bestselling author of The British Are Coming, George Washingtons army fights on the knife edge between victory and defeat.
The first twenty-one months of the American Revolutionwhich began at Lexington and ended at Princetonwas the story of a ragged group of militiamen and soldiers fighting to forge a new nationBy the winter of 1777, the exhausted Continental Army could claim only that it had barely escaped annihilation by the worlds most formidable fighting force.
Two years into the war, George III is as determined as ever to bring his rebellious colonies to heel. But the kings task is now far more complicated: fighting a determined enemy on the other side of the Atlantic has become ruinously expensive, and spies tell him that the French and Spanish are threatening to join forces with the Americans.
Prize-winning historian Rick Atkinson provides a riveting narrative covering the middle years of the RevolutionStationed in Paris, Benjamin Franklin woos the French; in Pennsylvania, George Washington pleads with Congress to deliver the money, men, and materiel he needs to continue the fight. In New York, General William Howe, the commander of the greatest army the British have ever sent overseas, plans a new campaign against the Americanseven as he is no longer certain that he can win this searing, bloody war.
The months and years that follow bring epic battles at Brandywine, Saratoga, Monmouth, and Charleston, a winter of misery at Valley Forge, and yet more appeals for sacrifice by every American committed to the struggle for freedom.
Timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the beginning of the Revolution, Atkinsons brilliant account of the lethal conflict between the Americans and the British offers not only deeply researched and spectacularly dramatic history, but also a new perspective on the demands that a democracy makes on its citizens.
