The First Salute
"In this brilliant slice of American Revolutionary history, Tuchman ( A Distant Mirror ; The Guns of August ) pits the 13 colonies against a rogues' gallery of British fools," wrote PW of this bestseller in cloth. "Expertly weaving political and military history, Tuchman lets you feel how Washington's victory at Yorktown sent shock waves around the globe." Photos.Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc.
