The Fate of the Day
Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and former Washington Post journalist Rick Atkinson wrote this book to chronicle the brutal middle years of the Revolutionary War (1777–1780), from the critical victory at Saratoga to the hardships of Valley Forge. Atkinson explores how a local rebellion transformed into a global conflict through the eyes of both famous leaders and ordinary soldiers. Ultimately, the narrative illustrates the immense sacrifice and precariousness of the American struggle to sustain a fledgling democracy.
New York: Crown Publishing Group, 2025. 1st edition. 854 pages. Hardcover book with dustjacket. Both the book and dustjacket are in VERY GOOD condition, the only damage being the top of the spine is noticeably rolled and creasing on the dustjacket corresponding to the roll.
