1776David McCullough is known for his scholarly yet readable accounts of historical events and people`s lives. Fans of his biography of John Adams will find the same narrative skill in 1776, his history of the first year of the America`s war for independence from Britain. General Washington is at the center of this history, but important too are the citizen-soldiers of the Continental Army, who seemed at first to be at a disadvantage compared to the well-trained and equipped British led by General Howe. Luck and pluck and good old American know-how helped even the odds, but the first year was a struggle. The difficult terrain and the weather affected all the troops, and there were victories and defeats on both sides. In his compellingly fresh accounts of important battles such as the Siege of Boston and the Battle for Brooklyn, McCullough takes familiar events of classroom history and makes them new. Includes maps, drawings, letters, and portraits in black-and-white and in color. A New York Times Notable Book of |

A Death in BelmontThe author of THE PERFECT STORM revisits a decades-old murder in this riveting work of true crime. In 1963, the Boston Strangler terrified the city and the surrounding suburbs with his rape/murder spree. The killing of Bessie Goldberg fit the Stranglers MO, and when police arrested African-American handyman and house cleaner Roy Smith for the crime, they assumed Smith was the Strangler. Years later, when white painter/carpenter Albert DeSalvo confessed to being the Strangler, Smith was already serving life in prison for the Goldberg murder. Junger evaluates the possibility that DeSalvo (who refused to number Goldberg among his admitted string of murders), not Smith (who also refused to admit guilt) killed Bessie Goldberg. What lends this book an added frisson is that during the period surrounding the murder (including the day in question), DeSalvo was working as a carpenter for Jungers mother.
