Unabridged Audiobook
Great book and should be mandatory reading for all Americans.
Amazing recount of 1776
Even the average citizen should know this story. This is the perfect way…with the author, RIP, reading it.
This book taught me so much more about the American Revolution than I ever learned in history books. I have a much greater appreciation for how much was sacrificed and how many unlikely circumstances had to occur for independence to be realized.
I absolutely loved it. I will listen to it again. All schools should play this for their pupils.
Only complaint I have is no followup book
Well done on delivering history. Wish it would have been a bit more story-based.
David McCullough's narration is as extraordinary as his writing. If only all of his books were available in his own voice.
Fantastic book about the miracle that became the USA. No doubt there were many people who helped the revolution succeed, but Washington is clearly the only one who could lead us to success. King George III said Washington was the "greatest man in the world" because he always put service over self, and never abused power. All Americans should read this to see what sacrifices and effort were made to create USA, and how lucky we are to be the USA.
Had to read it for school, and I found it very dry. On the bright side, it is a good book to help you get sleepy before bed! The audio helped me get through it.
Very good read. Perhaps a little too much detail. but nevertheless enjoyable and educational.
An fascinating insider account of the individuals and circumstance of the war for independence.
what an awesome book! if you like history you will love it!
I could not put this down, but I had too since it was so long, and worth every minute. It would be nice to have more by this writer. Very well done.
