2008-06-11 1776 and all that!

I expected American propaganda and a slagging off of the British, but McCullough excelled himself in his work as he recounted this exceptional year in world history. Sane, balanced and very inspiring, he brought the terror of defiance against the British Empire to life without any sickly American nostalgic, flag waving nonsense.
The book ends suddenly, and one would need to know "what happened next" to complete the story, but anyone who doesn't know that is living on Mars. That is not easy to say coming from a Brit. A truly great read. I even bought my dad a copy!
