Synopsis

America's most acclaimed historian presents the intricate story of the year of the birth of the United States of America.

1776 tells two gripping stories: how a group of squabbling, disparate colonies became the United States, and how the British Empire tried to stop them.

This book destroys many popular myths about the Wars of Independence and reveals, in fact, how many Americans wished to remain British, and how many British had profound doubts about a military solution to the revolt.

It shows that many of those fighting knew those on the other side, and as the great decisions and battles of 1776 unfolded and attitudes hardened, the truly fratricidal nature of the conflict became clear.

This recording is unabridged. Typically abridged audiobooks are not more than 60% of the author's work and as low as 30% with characters and plotlines removed.
