Description
"Once upon a time there was a REVOLUTION."
There's never been a nation like the United States of America. It's impossible to imagine the world without it--but do you know the wild and true story of how it came into existence? On our 250th anniversary, the hunger for America's story has never been greater. Who better to tell it than historian Eric Metaxas, author of seven New York Times bestsellers, including the ground-breaking, million-selling biography of Dietrich Bonhoeffer? With the passion, erudition, and irrepressible wit that have become his signature, Metaxas's REVOLUTION brings the epic of America's birth to life so fully that you will feel you are a part of the story, which is precisely the point. By turns deeply moving, gripping, and spectacularly entertaining, these are the stories every American must know, including some of history's noblest heroes -- and some despicable villains. REVOLUTION also touches on the role that sacrifice, character, and faith played in the great struggle for "the Sacred Cause" of liberty. George Washington, John Adams, Nathan Hale, Henry Knox, Horatio Gates, Israel Putnam, Benedict Arnold and many others all come to life for a new generation of Americans. At more than 500 pages--with photos, maps, and illustrations--REVOLUTION is definitive and sweeping, an astonishing epic containing a dazzling array of stories, ranging from the explosive events that led up to Lexington and Concord, all the way through the impossible twists and turns of the war itself--including the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Crossing of the Delaware, Saratoga, and the bitter winter at Valley Forge -- all the way to the final victory in Yorktown and "The World Turned Upside Down." Unless we ourselves know the true story of the Revolution--what some have called America's "founding myth"--we cannot play the role we are meant to play in the Revolution that still continues today. This is our story. We need to know it. For such a time as this.
