This book give great insight into the political climate during the American revolution. Details of George Washingtons campaigns, were more interesting than I thought possible allthough parts are a bit boggged down by a little to much detail. This book gave me new insight on what Washington was up against. He did so much with so little! His political savvy and great leadership qualities are shown to us. Quite a bit diffrent from the history taught to me in the public school. I like the way Washington is revealed to the reader His story is a powerful reminder of; why we are American.
