George wins the war,
By
This review is from: George Washington and the American Revolution (Hardcover)
George Washington is such a mythic figure, that any honest account of his life and career brings both surprises and a reaffirmation of just what a great man he was. Burke Davis is a first rate writer and historian and focusses here on Washington the General who led America to military victory in the Revolutionary War despite long odds and much personal hardship. Just keeping his ragtag army together was enough of a challenge. To actually win battles such as Trenton and Yorktown and survive the treachery of Benedict Arnold makes him all the more remarkable. It is a shame that the Revolutionary War evokes little of the passion in Americans today that the Civil War does. Washington's military feats dwarf those of Grant, Lee and Sherman. With this book, Washington the military commander gets his due.
