Reviews of 1776
Calling the book a “visual feast,” Publishers Weekly says that “McCullough illustrates his riveting account of the most important year in the war that made America with maps, portraits and reproductions of broadsides and newspaper ads…pure delight.”
The New Yorker writers that McCullough’s “prose is vibrant and there is a telling insight into each character,” while The Washington Post says that the author “has a remarkable ability to paint pictures with his words and is at the height of his powers with this book.”
