Caracteristici

THE TIMELESS AMERICAN STORY:Readers keep returning to the Founding Fathers because the birth of the United States remains an inspiring and breathtakingly dramatic moment in history.Independence, amazingly, is the first book to unfold in detail the struggle in the Continental Congress. Ferling does for the political battle what McCullough's1776does for military history.

Recenzii

A lucid, erudite account of a period both terrifying and supremely inspiring
Noted for his knowledge of the Revolutionary era, Ferling ... again gives us a narrative hard to surpass in fluency and authority.
In this splendid book, noted founding-era historian Ferling presents a convincing narrative of American independence
Mesmerizing. Masterful. History written with the gravitational pull of a good novel. A history book that deserves to become a big best seller
John Ferling has established himself as one of the leading chroniclers of the American Revolution, but Independence goes beyond anything he has written before.
