Bruce Bliven Knihy
Bruce Bliven Jr. bol vnímavý rozprávač, ktorý sa ponoril do bohatej histórie New Yorku, aby pochopil svoje vlastné miesto vo svete. Jeho diela sa vyznačujú hlbokým záujmom o témy a jeho prístup bol skôr premýšľavý ako povrchný. Skúmal širokú škálu tém, od vojenských kampaní po kultúrne artefakty, čo odrážalo jeho zmysel pre detail a schopnosť sprístupniť zložité témy. Blivenov štýl písania bol prístupný a zároveň poučný, čím zaujal čitateľov.
In the American colonies of the 1770s, people were fed up with British laws. Local farmers and tradesmen secretly formed a militia. In 1775, when the British marched into Lexington and Concord, Massachusetts, the Americans were ready. From that first battle to the final showdown at Yorktown, the Americans fought against tremendous odds. The British army was bigger and better trained. Food and guns were scarce. But George Washington’s ragged army fought for–and won–the freedom and independence we cherish to this day.Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, the tale of our country's fight for independence is brought to life in fast-moving, dramatic detail.
