It’s true. You definitely need to have an avid interest in U.S. history to enjoy this book. It’s greatest strength as a book is how McCullough really brings to life the events that unfolded in 1776.

I have to read it for High School History and honestly it gets boring at parts.

I think it is fair to say, the UN has proven itself quite worthless in modern times.

Great review! I’m excited to get a copy of this book and start living that time period vicariously. With so much technological advance in our world, sometimes I feel completely divorced from our forefathers and their experience of America. Its amazing how much has happened in just over 200 years. I sometimes wonder what they would think of their cultural descendants in the 21st Century and whether they’d approve of our wise use or abuse of the infrastructure they left behind…

Jay, the UN as the template for a New World Order? That’d be interesting. If NYC was the capital, would it be called UNA or UNE (United Nations of America, or United Nations of Earth)?

Mohammad would have great perspective on the Revolutionary War. He would be delighted that infidels were killing each other, but I think he would be rooting for the British because secular government of any form would have pissed him off.

Also, if the British won, the seat of power would be close enough for his cultural descendants to attack effectively rather than having to cross an ocean on either side. See, I think it could be a real interesting read…

HaHa. If the League of Nations was as bad as the League of Extraordinary Gentleman then the United Nations is like its sequel. Mohammad, heh?

Someone should write a Revolutionary War book from Mohammad’s point of view. That would be classic.
