Summary

Traces the events of one of those rare years in American history, when the fate of the nation hung in the balance, and only the fortitude, determination, and sacrifices of its leaders and citizenry could save it. After six years of war, the new nation faced seemingly insurmountable challenges and difficulties. Like the years 1776, 1865, and 1945, the year 1781 changed the course of American and indeed, world history. -- From the Prologue
