The First Salute

“Narrative history in the great tradition…”–Chicago Tribune
Two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize & bestselling author Barbara W. Tuchman analyzes the American Revolution in a brilliantly original way, placing the war in the historical context of the centuries-long conflicts between England & both France & Holland. This compellingly written history paints a magnificent portrait of General George Washington & recounts in detail the events responsible for the birth of our nation.
