具體描述
With a new introduction by David McCullough, 1776: The Illustrated Edition brings 140 powerful images and 37 removable replicas of source documents to this remarkable drama.
In 1776, David McCullough's bestselling account of a pivotal year in our nation's struggle, readers learned of the greatest defeats, providential fortune, and courageous triumphs of George Washington and his bedraggled army. Now, in 1776: The Illustrated Edition, the efforts of the Continental Army are made even more personal, as an excerpted version of the original book is paired with letters, maps, and seminal artwork. More than three dozen source documents -- including a personal letter George Washington penned to Martha about his commission, a note informing the mother of a Continental soldier that her son has been taken prisoner, and a petition signed by Loyalists pledging their allegiance to the King -- are re-created in uniquely designed envelopes throughout the book and secured with the congressional seal.
Both a distinctive art book and a collectible archive, 1776: The Illustrated Edition combines a treasury of eighteenth-century paintings, sketches, documents, and maps with storytelling by our nation's preeminent historian to tell the story of 1776 as never before.

讀後感
坦白说是被书名美国的诞生给吸引了，但实际上全书只是描述了1776年的战斗历程。华盛顿可以说是靠着坚韧不拔的意志力而非完美的战略战术指挥作战，好在英军统帅也是三心二意不够坚决，否则就没有现在的世界格局了。 整体翻译质量不错，但是有些小瑕疵还是不吐不快： 1、P73第4段...
評分 評分 評分这不是一部历史教材。如果一定要分类，勉强可以算国内的所谓“纪实文学”。但是其历史性、文学性和思想性都到达了一个相当的高度。我把它叫做“一年史”，是因为从题材上讲，它跟黄仁宇的《万历十五年》都是取历史长河中有特点的一年，加以详述。 第一，历史性：David McCullo...
