Articoli correlati a Independence: The Struggle to Set America Free
No event in American history was more pivotal-or more furiously contested-than Congress's decision to declare independence in July 1776. Even months after American blood had been shed at Lexington and Concord, many colonists remained loyal to Britain. John Adams, a leader of the revolutionary effort, said bringing the fractious colonies together was like getting "thirteen clocks to strike at once."
Other books have been written about the Declaration, but no author has traced the political journey from protest to Revolution with the narrative scope and flair of John Ferling. Independence takes readers from the cobblestones of Philadelphia into the halls of Parliament, where many sympathized with the Americans and furious debate erupted over how to deal with the rebellion. Independence is not only the story of how freedom was won, but how an empire was lost.
At this remarkable moment in history, high-stakes politics was intertwined with a profound debate about democracy, governance, and justice. John Ferling, drawing on a lifetime of scholarship, brings this passionate struggle to life as no other historian could. Independence will be hailed as the finest work yet from the author Michael Beschloss calls "a national resource."

Recensione:
Once in a while a book comes along to remind us that ... America more vibrant than a mere list of principles. ... The Ascent of George Washington is just such a book (Washington Post on THE ASCENT OF GEO WASHINGTON)
Comprehensive and engaging (Jon Meacham on ALMOST A MIRACLE)
Arguably the best, and certainly one of the most stimulating, single-volume histories of the American Revolution (PW on ALMOST A MIRACLE)
Ferling vividly evokes the political turmoil of the post-Revolutionary years. Even as he takes the Founders off their pedestals, their accomplishments only gain in stature (The New Yorker on A LEAP IN THE DARK)
