Robert P. Watson delves into the complex and often misunderstood origins of the Declaration, revealing how a series of missteps by the British Crown, shifting colonial sentiments, and a convergence of enlightened thinkers led to a revolutionary moment that changed the course of history. Drawing from a wealth of primary sources-including letters, diaries, newspapers, and diplomatic communiquâes-Watsonreconstructs the debates, drafts, and drama that surrounded the Declaration's creation. Complete with a unique look into the influence of women, enslaved individuals, and indigenous peoples, Declaration brings to light the diverse cast of characters and perspectives thatshaped the American experiment. It explores the document's philosophical roots, its political impact, and the enduring struggle to realize its lofty promises of liberty and equality."-- Back cover.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1570906</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1570906</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Watson, Robert P.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1570906086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Story of American Independence</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9798216371557/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[George Washington's Final Battle]]></title><description><![CDATA["At the end of America's Revolutionary War, the new nation's government was weak and almost fatally divided by bitter disputes. Inherent in the divides was disagreement about where to place the nation's seat of government. It is little remembered that George Washington took the lead on settling this question that moved the capital from New York, to Philadelphia, and finally to the city that bears his name. Robert Watson has written an engaging history of Washington's underappreciated political acumen and the fascinating story behind the creation of Washington, DC. Few know how personally involved Washington was in even the smallest details of planning DC. He quietly worked behind the scenes to push for a Potomac River locations. He oversaw surveying, negotiated land deals, raised funds, selected the architect, chose the plan, and changed the designs. Washington visited the construction sites for the rest of his life, even after leaving the presidency in 1797, making the federal city itself his last great contribution to public life. He died less than a year before President Adams moved into the White House in 1800. Washington's vision, influence, and feel for political compromise made it possible to build a permanent capital and to begin forming a sense of nationhood"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1325506</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1325506</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Watson, Robert P.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1325506086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Epic Struggle to Build A Capital City and A Nation</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781626167841/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Ghost Ship of Brooklyn]]></title><description><![CDATA["The surprising story of the most infamous prison ship of the American Revolution, the HMS Jersey, and its role in the fight for independence."--Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1210011</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1210011</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Watson, Robert P.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1210011086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>An Untold Story of the Revolutionary War</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780306825521/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Nazi Titanic]]></title><description><![CDATA[The German ocean liner SS Cap Arcona was one of the most celebrated luxury liners in the world. When the Nazis seized control in Germany she was stripped down for use as a floating barracks and troop transport. During the war Goebbels cast her as the "star" in a propaganda film about the sinking of the legendary Titanic. Used to transport German soldiers and civilians across the Baltic, in the Third Reichs final days the ship was packed with thousands of concentration camp prisoners (without adequate water, food, or sanitary facilities) and was mistakenly bombed by the British Royal Air Force. Watson has unearthed forgotten records to expose a riveting account of the Cap Arcona's devastating role in World War II and the Holocaust.]]></description><link>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1180123</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S86C1180123</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Watson, Robert P.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://greenwichlibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1180123086</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Incredible Untold Story of A Doomed Ship in World War II</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780306824890/MC.GIF&amp;client=greenwich&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[American Poetry]]></title><description><![CDATA[Contains over 1500 poems by more than 200 well-known American poets, including Langston Hughes, T.S.
