| Summary, etc. |
In the initial volume of the Revolution Trilogy, Pulitzer Prize winning author Rick Atkinson tells the story of the first twenty months of the bloody struggle to shake free of King George's shackles. From the battles at Lexington and Concord in spring 1775 to those at Trenton and Princeton in winter 1777, the ragtag Continental Army takes on the world's most formidable fighting force and gradually finds the will and the way to win. It is a riveting saga populated by singular characters who make the mortal conflict between redcoats and rebels all the more compelling. Full of fresh details and untold stories, "The British are coming" gives stirring new life to the first act of our country's creation drama. It is a tale of heroes and knaves, of sacrifice and blunder, of redemption and profound suffering. But once begun, the war for independence can have only one of two outcomes: death or victory -- publisher. |
