On November 16 1776 a ship flying the red-and-white-striped flag of the Continental Congress entered the port of St. Eustatius in the West Indies. Adhering to custom on entering a foreign port, the ship fired a salute, and the guns of the island's fort returned a ritual response. This act of recognition acknowledged that the vessel and its flag represented a legitimate nation. It was the first official salute to the United States of America, and although it took only minutes to carry out, it would have the most profound repercussions through the events of the next five years. In this masterful study Barbara Tuchman shows the ways in which not only America and England were affected by the Revolution, but Holland and France, and, by extension, the entire Old World as well. She appraises the political, emotional, and geographical imperatives at work for each of the warring forces during the long, ragged years of conflict. She analyzes the rivalries that determined Europe's crucial role in the American struggle, the centuries-long animosity between England and France, Holland's defiance of England's ban on aid to the Colonials, and demonstrates how, in coming to the aid of the Americans, England's enemies made the triumph of American independence possible. Chapter titles such as The French Intervention, Low Point of the Revolution, The Critical Moment, and Last Chance-The Yorktown Campaign. She recasts America's tumultuous nascent years and broading our understanding of the essential circumstances and events surrounding what was not only the birth of our own nation but the beginning, as well, of the modern Western world. Sixteen pages of illustrations, 8in full color, and 6 maps., Alfred A. Knopf Incorporated, 1988, 3, US: Back Bay Books, 1994. Paperback. Good. After more than two decades, this dramatic and concise single-volume distil lation of James Thomas Flexner's definitive four-volume biography George Wa shington, which received a Pulitzer Prize citation and a National Book Awar d for the fourth volume, has itself become an American classic. Now in a ne w trade paperback edition, this masterful work explores the Father of Our C ountry - sometimes an unpopular hero, a man of great contradictions, but al ways a towering historical figure, who remains, as Flexner writes in these pages, a fallible human being made of flesh and blood and spirit - not a st atue of marble and wood... a great and good man. The author unflinchingly p aints a portrait of Washington: slave owner, brave leader, man of passion, reluctant politician, and fierce general. His complex character and career are neither glorified nor vilified here; rather, Flexner sets up a brillian t counterpoint between Washington's public and private lives and gives us a challenging look at the man who has become as much a national symbol as th e American flag., Back Bay Books, 1994, 2.5, HarperCollins Publishers.

In February 1945, American Marines plunged into the surf at Iwo Jimaand into history. Through a hail of machine-gun and mortar fire that left the beaches strewn with comrades, they battled to the islands highest peak. And after climbing through a landscape of hell itself, they raised a flag. Now the son of one of the flag-raisers has written a powerful account of six very different young men who came together in a moment that will live forever. 2006.
