对中国翻译家们的水平实在是抱有戒心，买本英文版对照着看看。看英文原版其实也蛮不舒服的，毕竟看的是17世纪的英文，标题一个"who heir？"直接把我看蒙了，碰上长达两行且没有逗号还有n多生词的句子基本上就直接看不下去了，至少要拿出中文翻译来参考。

America&s beloved and distinguished historian presents, in a book of breathtaking excitement, drama, and narrative force, the stirring story of the year of our nation&s birth, 1776, interweaving, on both sides of the Atlantic, the actions and decisions that led Great Britain to undertake a war against her rebellious colonial subjects and that placed America&s survival in the hands of George Washington.In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of Independence&#8212;when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.
Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. It is the story of Americans in the ranks, men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts, and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the King&s men, the British commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little known.
Written as a companion work to his celebrated biography of John Adams, David McCullough&s 1776 is another landmark in the literature of American history.

While driving cross country back home from a road trip vacation on July 4 I listened to a rebroadcast of On Point's Tom Ashbrook interview with David McCullough. At one point David noted that many Americans don't really understand the Revolutionary War, that it has been overshadowed by so much other history. He said that our view is often of men in funny shaped hats fighting off the Red Coats in broad sweeping frontal marches. As he told the tale of the year of 1776 I realized he was right on the money in my case. I knew of the shot heard 'round the world at Lexington and C I knew there was a battle at Bunker Hill and later George Washington crossed the Delaware River to defeat the British and the Hessians.&#34;The war was a longer, far more arduous, and more painful struggle than later generations would understand or sufficiently appreciate. By the time it ended, it had taken the lives of an estimated 25,000 Americans, or roughly 1 percent of the population. In percentage of lives lost, it was the most costly war in
American history, except for the Civil War&#34;(Loc 4798)The year 1775 closed with the British barricaded in Boston with the Colonists bottling them up. But King George had promised a new influx of troops and got help from Prussia. The invaders packed up from Boston and headed first north, then south to New York. The Colonists got there first but found it was indefensible given the enormous strength of the British fleet that dominated the waterways. The Americans lost battle throughout the year and eventually fled Long Island, then Manhattan and retreat through New Jersey to Delaware. It was on
Christmas night 1776 that Washington took his army back across the Delaware River to win two battles and give the new country hope. But it would take another 7 or 8 years for war to end through a treaty in Paris after the victory in Yorktown.Having read a few war histories now, I'm struck by how important it is for the leading generals to be so calm and resolute in the face of enormous pressures. The revolutionary army had to put up with low
enlistments,
poorly trained soldiers, lack of ammunitio in short it was &#34;a year of all-too-few victoreis, of sustained suffering, disease, huner, desertion, cowardice, disillusionment, defeat, terrible discouragement, and fear,... but also of phenomenal courage and bedrock devotion to country&#34; (Location 4800). I can barely imagine how George Washington handled all this.War in the age of sails was a world apart from that of steam and engines. The British needed wind and tides in order to bring their ships up the waterways of New York. Certainly, there were weather conditions for D-Day in WWII; but machinery and other advances in technology changed the face of war. Also, the establishment of West Point, Annapolis, and the other military universities have been essential to America's abilities to fight and win wars.A terrific read of this pivotal year in our country's history. I'm going to read the Oxford history of this period in the not too distant future. It is essential, I think, for us to know &#34;what a close call it was at the beginning-how often circumstance, storms, contrary winds, the oddities or strengths of individual character had made the difference - the outcome seemed little short of a miracle.&#34; (Loc 4808)

As a proud American who, I'm ashamed to admit, knew next to nothing about the details of the Revolutionary War, McCullough's &#34;1776&#34; was a much-needed history lesson for me. Written lucidly and grippingly throughout, &#34;1776&#34; provides a strong foundation for one's study of this most critical period of our nation's history, and has inspired me to continue my own studies by reading as much as I can about the revolution and its meaning, both then and now. One also comes away with a sense of awe toward General (and later President) George Washington. The extensive bibliography that McCullough has provided is more than enough for a lifetime of study.I think that those Americans who read this book will, like me, feel more strongly patriotic and value more greatly the selflessness of those who fought for our country in its infancy. And I think that non-Americans who read it will better understand what it means to be an American, and hopefully see our country in a more favorable light. Yes, I realize that America has its problems, both currently and historically, and that we're certainly not beloved by everyone throughout the world, but it's nonetheless moving to at least try and perceive what we mean when we talk about the &#34;American spirit&#34;: that feeling of unbounded liberty that allows us to truly pursue happiness. &#34;1776&#34; offers a path.

Here was a bunch of stuff I didn't get in high school. We learned some things about the crossing of the Delaware and attack on Trenton, but none of the details, nor the meaning of these events. We have long known of Washington's greatness, but not so much of his na?vet& or rank amateurism. This gives me even more respect for the fellow.

In honor of Independence Day, I decided to read David McCullough's new book, 1776.
McCullough is one of America's foremost writers and historians and has scored major hits with such monumental works as Truman, John Adams and Mornings on Horseback.
While enjoyable, I don't feel that 1776 meets the high standards set in his earlier works.
David Hackett Fischer's brilliant Washington's Crossing is a much more fascinating look at the same time period and covers most of the same events.Part of McCullough's problem with 1776 is that the scope is so very short.
It begins in late 1775 with the siege of Boston, and ends in early 1777 with the Battle of Princeton. It is primarily a story about George Washington and the Continental Army, and military engagements between the Americans, British and Hessians.
The political events of this time period, including the Continental Congress and the Declaration of Independence, are given just a cursory mention.Still, this is a fascinating period in our early history, and it's a wonder that the American's were able to survive.
George Washington was largely untested, and many of those men he placed in leadership positions (especially Nathanael Greene and Henry Knox) were well read in military history but very short on military experience.
At first, Washington was often indecisive, and it cost him bitterly-especially in New York.
But the victories at Trenton and Princeton gave the army a much-needed boost, and lifted the flagging spirits of the young Americans.1776 proved to be a year of unbelievable contrasts.
The Americans suffered some crushing blows (Brooklyn, Long Island, White Plains, Fort Washington), while pulling off some major victories (the British departure from Boston, Trenton and Princeton).
Some of their successes bordered on miracles including the retrieving of cannon from Fort Ticonderoga, the taking of Dorchester Heights, and the successful and secret retreat from Brooklyn.
Both sides were at the mercy of the weather, but it often times seemed that the hand of God was at work for the Americans.
A three-day nor'easter kept the British from attacking Boston.
No wind often kept British ships from sailing at will, and a bizarre fog aided in their retreat from Brooklyn.
Still, conditions were harsh and most soldiers were ill prepared.
Enlistments were only for one year, and desertions were common.
But every time the Americans were at their lowest point, the British would pull back for one reason or another, instead of bringing a quick end to the battle for independence.McCullough's research is prodigious, and the journal entries and letters from "regular" soldiers were rather interesting.
Unfortunately, the Revolution continued for another 6-1/2 years, so 1776 is merely an introduction.
Also, it would have been nice if McCullough provided us with a brief epilogue.
I had to search the Internet to discover that the British eventually traded the vain, jealous and power-hungry Major General Charles Lee for one of their officers.
He finally got what was coming to him when he was court martialed for refusing to follow orders and the disrespect shown to Washington during the Battle of Monmouth.So, while 1776 is an engaging book, I just expected a little more.

By now, many readers are familiar with David McCullough's "1776."
This book takes a detailed look at once critical year in the Revolutionary War--a year that started off well--with victory in Boston, a year that bottomed out with disaster after disaster in New York, and a year that ended with triumph in Trenton under the worst possible circumstances.The book starts with the siege of Boston, with George Washington assuming control of the rabble of militia surrounding the British forces.
Washington had ideas as to how to defeat the British forces, but wanted the means.
However, Henry Knox proposed the visionary prospect of bringing cannons from Fort Ticonderoga, recently captured from the British, to overlook Boston from the heights and, consequently, to drive the British forces from Boston.
After desperate hardships, Knox' cannon arrived.
And, indeed, the British forces were compelled to vacate Boston in a triumph for the colonial forces.The drama then shifts to the New York City area.
Washington fortified as best he could.
When the mighty British Armada arrived, however, they found a weakness in Washington's lines in Long Island and threw the Continental Army into disarray.
The Marblehead troops in the colonial army were able to find boats and transport the army across the East River to Manhattan, preventing a possible disaster at the hands of the British army.Again, on Manhattan, the British forces won out, through their sheer numbers and the professionalism of some of their key officers.
Fort Washington was lost with many colonial troops captured, with Nathanael Greene convincing Washington, wrongly as it turns out, to defend the fortification.
Thereafter, Fort Lee was lost and a ragtag retreat toward the Delaware River ensued.With unmitigated disaster looming, George Washington, as we all know, took a desperate gamble to defeat the Hessian troops in Trenton.
Again, readers know of the outcome of that long odds battle.This, in the end, 1776 was a year that lurched from triumph to disaster to triumph again.
And with that final triumph, there was hope for the future of the revolution.Those familiar with McCullough's other works realize his skills as a writer and his sensitivity to historical events.
This is a book well worth reading. . . .
And it reminds us that George Washington well earned the respect that his country accorded him.
