The british are coming: the war for america, lexington to princeton, 1775-1777: the Revolution Trilogy, Book 1: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The british are coming: the war for america, lexington to princeton, 1775-1777: the Revolution Trilogy, Book 1" wrote himself).

In the initial volume of the Revolution Trilogy Rick Atkinson recounts the first twenty-one months of Americas violent war for independence. From the battles at Lexington and Concord in spring 1775 to those at Trenton and Princeton in winter 1777, American militiamen and then the ragged Continental Army take on the worlds most formidable fighting force. It is a saga alive with astonishing characters: Henry Knox, the former bookseller with an uncanny understanding of artillery; Nathanael Greene, the bumpkin who becomes a brilliant battle captain; Benjamin Franklin, who proves to be the wiliest of diplomats; George Washington, the commander in chief who learns the difficult art of leadership when the war seems all but lost. The story is also told from the British perspective, making the mortal conflict between the redcoats and the rebels all the more compelling.
