Barbara W. Tuchman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the classic The Guns of August, turns her sights homeward with this brilliant, insightful narrative of the Revolutionary War.In The First Salute, one of America's consummate historians crafts a rigorously original view of the American Revolution. Barbara W. Tuchman places the Revolution in the context of the centuries-long conflicts between England and both France and Holland, demonstrating how the aid to the American colonies of both these nations made the triumph of independence possible. She sheds new light on the key role played by the contending navies, paints a magnificent portrait of George Washington, and recounts in riveting detail the decisive campaign of the war at Yorktown. By turns lyrical and gripping, The First Salute is an exhilarating account of the birth of a nation. Praise for The First Salute "Nothing in a novel could be more thrilling than the moment in this glorious history when French soldiers arrive to] see a tall, familiar figure: George Washington. . . . It is only part of Tuchman's genius that she can reconstitute such scenes with so much precision and passion."--People
"Tuchman writes narrative history in the great tradition. . . . A persuasive book, which brings us entertaining pictures, scenes and characters."--Chicago Tribune
" A] tightly woven narrative, ingeniously structured."--The Christian Science Monitor

This should be a textbook and literally be taught to everyone on Earth!
Format: Kindle
I was absolutely enthralled the entire time reading this book. I have read books on Lucid dreaming and have been fully lucid a couple of times so far. Astral Travel has definitely been on my list of things I want to learn. This book is so incredibly detailed in every aspect on the subject of Astral Travel. It has inspired me to want to put all my energy into successfully controlling my Astral travels. She lists common misconceptions and dangers to be aware of. She also has detailed outlines of how to journal properly, as to que your subconscious mind of how important it is to you on your conscious level. I always wondered what the difference between Astral travel and Lucid dreaming are and that is also explained in detail. She has so many fantastic methods to apply as you attempt to separate your Astral body from your physical body. I would absolutely 💯 percent suggest this book to anyone looking for valuable information and insight into the art of Astral Travel.

I really enjoyed this book. It was very easy to read and understand. It gives different techniques you can try and helps you understand why you shouldn't fear traveling. This is a book I will reread for reference. I haven't successfully AP yet from reading this but it has gotten me to lucid dreaming, which I wasnt able to do before.
