We have not understood what it took our ancestors to bring this country into being. The suffering, the death of good men, the disease that took so many, the sacrifices that families and individuals made are all covered dramatically and in depth in David McCullough's book on CD. I had not realized that the war went on for six years until I read this book.

This is the most moving rendition of the War for independence I have ever read. It is American history at it's best.
