Edward G. Lengel
Many biographies have been written about George Washington. But until this stunning volume, no book has so thorougly and intimately captured Washington's military accomplishments and examined them within the context of America's rise to prominence. Beginning with the French and Indian War, author Edward G. Lengel covers every aspect of Washington's military service. The result is a breathtaking account of the original American icon.
Lengel has crafted an instant classic...and the most extensive history yet of Washington the soldier.

Critic reviews
"For Lengel, Washington's character inspired the trust necessary for any successful revolution. This outstanding work does that character justice." (Publishers Weekly)
I have only given this work 3 stars because much of the material that surrounds those points I make above is of a retread variety, especially for those interested in the period. The author does not give much different focus or interpretation to that contextual material, since his main aim is at military matters. The book is nevertheless well-written, moves along at a good pace, and is valuable if only for the twist of the work toward the battleground & military strategy.
an embarassment of richs about the Revolution
