Rick Atkinson reflects on the Revolutionary War and the fragile, improbable birth of the United States, drawing from his latest work, The Fate of the Day: The War for America. In conversation with Gen. David H. Petraeus, Atkinson examines the military strategy, political uncertainty, and individual leadership that shaped the struggle for independence. Their discussion explores how battlefield decisions, civilian resolve, and international dynamics converged at a decisive moment in history, illuminating the contingencies, sacrifices, and competing visions that defined the nation’s founding.
