Now he turns his attention to a new war  and in the initial volume of the Revolution Trilogy he recounts the first twenty-one months of Americas violent war for independence.  From the battles at Lexington and Concord in spring 1775 to those at Trenton and Princeton in winter 1777  American militiamen and then the ragged Continental Army take on the worlds most formidable fighting force. It is a gripping saga alive with astonishing characters: Henry Knox  the former bookseller with an uncanny understanding of artillery; Nathanael Greene  the blue-eyed bumpkin who becomes a brilliant battle captain; Benjamin Franklin  the self-made man who proves to be the wiliest of diplomats; George Washington  the commander in chief who learns the difficult art of leadership when the war seems all but lost. The story is also told from the British perspective  making the mortal conflict between the redcoats and the rebels all the more compelling.  Full of riveting details and untold stories  The British Are Coming is a tale of heroes and knaves  of sacrifice and blunder  of redemption and profound suffering. Rick Atkinson has given stirring new life to the first act of our countrys creation drama.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44945327587381,"sku":"ByrdShop_1627790438","price":30.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781627790437_7b62c023-4d5f-4ad1-856b-944f6b1edbad.jpg?v=1770136939","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-british-are-coming-the-war-for-america-lexington-to-princeton-17751777-the-revolution-trilogy-1","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
