George Washington's War: The Forging of a Revolutionary Leader and the American Presidency - Softcover
Synopsis
How a young general shaped a nation ― a fascinating account of George Washington as he faced a war and came out as America's first president
The American Revolution was won not on the battlefields, but through the mind of George Washington. One of America's founding fathers, Washington's story is one that influenced how our entire nation was built. A compulsively readable narrative and extensive history, George Washington's War illuminates how during the war's winter months the young general created a new model of leadership that became the model for the American presidency.
Through hardships, loss, and the brutal conditions of war, Washington led his men with cunning and grace, demonstrating the strong and endearing qualities that led him to become America's most beloved patriot.
