First Editions of Rick Atkinson's The British Are Coming and The Fate of the Day; Each Signed by Him
First editions of the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian's first two books in his proposed trilogy. Octavo, original boards, cartographic endpapers, illustrated. Boldly signed by Rick Atkinson on the title page of both volumes. Fine in fine dust jackets, stamp to the front endpaper of volume two.
Rick Atkinson’s The British Are Coming and The Fate of the Day are the first two volumes of his planned trilogy on the American Revolutionary War, offering a detailed, narrative-driven account of the conflict’s early years. The British Are Coming traces the origins of the war and its opening campaigns from 1775 to early 1777, emphasizing the global stakes of the struggle and the military limitations on both sides. The Fate of the Day continues the story through the middle years of the war, focusing on major campaigns, leadership challenges, and the shifting balance of power as the conflict deepened and expanded. Together, the books combine meticulous research with vivid storytelling to present the Revolution as a complex, uncertain war shaped as much by contingency, logistics, and leadership as by ideology.
The British Are Coming: The War For America, Lexington to Princeton, 1775-1777 and The Fate of the Day: The War For America, Fort Ticonderoga to Charleston, 1777-1780.
