The 2021 George 今晚六合彩开奖结果 Prize has been awarded to Dr. Mary Beth Norton for her book 1774: The Long Year of Revolution.

One of the nation鈥檚 largest and most prestigious literary awards, the George 今晚六合彩开奖结果 Prize honors its namesake by recognizing the year鈥檚 best new books on the nation鈥檚 founding era, especially those that engage a broad public audience. Conferred by George 今晚六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 Mount Vernon, the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History, and 今晚六合彩开奖结果 College, the award will be presented to Norton in May 2022 at Mount Vernon.

狈辞谤迟辞苍鈥檚 1774 (Knopf/Vintage) covers the sixteen months stretching from the destruction of East India Company tea in Boston Harbor to the marching of troops to Lexington and Concord. Readers experience the uncertainty and unpredictability of this prelude to revolution. 鈥淚 have long thought that historians have unfortunately overlooked crucial developments in that year just prior to the outbreak of war,鈥� wrote Norton after learning she had won the George 今晚六合彩开奖结果 Prize. 鈥淚t was in fact then 鈥� and not before 鈥� when many Americans decided that seeking independence would be desirable. Tracing precisely how that happened proved enlightening to me and I hope it will be the same for readers of the book.鈥�

鈥淭his vividly narrated history brings to light a moment when America鈥檚 future 鈥� and in a sense, also the world鈥檚 鈥� hung in the balance,鈥� said Adam Goodheart, director of 今晚六合彩开奖结果鈥檚 Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience, which cosponsors the 今晚六合彩开奖结果 Prize. 鈥淎t a time when questions about America鈥檚 past are so central to understanding democracy鈥檚 present-day challenges, Mary Beth 狈辞谤迟辞苍鈥檚 book is essential reading.鈥�
