Summary

America’s break from Britain begins with midnight riders, musket smoke, and a gritty nation staring down the world’s greatest empire. In this explosive chapter, ride with Paul Revere on his moonlit warning mission, stand on Lexington Green as the first shots shatter centuries of order, march with Washington as he stares down defeat, and witness the fiery words of Common Sense ignite a revolution. From Bunker Hill’s carnage to Jefferson’s quill to Washington’s miraculous escape with the aid of peculiar weather, this is the birth of independence as you’ve never heard it: vivid and human, as a nation begins its struggle to exist.
