1776

I just finished David McCullough’s book 1776 (I had mentioned I bought it last week) and I really enjoyed it, surprisingly. Normally historical stuff isn’t my cup of tea, but I was completely sucked in by it.

I had never realized how lucky General Washington was and how thin the thread holding the continental army together was. It’s amazing the number of times that they escaped due to luck or quick thinking and how little they succeeded to start off with.

If you’re at all interested in the time period and haven’t read this book, you really should check it out. It’s very well written and worth the price of admission.
