David McCullough's 1776 chronicles the pivotal, often desperate, first year of the American Revolutionary War, focusing on George Washington and the Continental Army's struggle against the formidable British forces. The book highlights the army's inexperience and hardships, including defeats, and portrays the year as a period where independence hung precariously in the balance. It concludes with a dramatic turn of events, culminating in the surprise attack at Trenton, which revitalized the American cause.
