Read by Matt Haynes

How did the United States become the country it is today? What led to its creation? Adapted from Pulitzer Prize-winner Rick Atkinson's deeply researched and stunningly vivid The British Are Coming, the young readers edition explores these questions and so much more as it delves into the American Revolution. A collection of key battles from the beginning of the war, including Lexington and Concord and the Battle of Bunker Hill, sets the scene, telling a story of liberation fraught with contradiction and intrigue. History buffs and newcomers alike will be drawn into this fascinating audiobook. A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt and Company. Rick Atkinson is the bestselling author of the Liberation Trilogy-An Army at Dawn (winner of the Pulitzer Prize for History), The Day of Battle, and The Guns at Last Light-as well as the D-Day and Battle of the Bulge young readers adaptations. His many additional awards include a Pulitzer Prize in journalism, a George Polk Award, and the Pritzker Military Library Literature Award. A former staff writer and senior editor at The Washington Post, he lives in Washington, DC
