　　“The most comprehensive and authoritative study of

Washington’s military career eve***ritten.”

–Joseph J. Ellis, author of His Excellency: Ge***e

Washington

Based largely on Ge***e Washington’s personal papers, this

engrossing book paints a vivid, factual portrait of Washington the

soldier. An expert in military history, Edward Lengel ***s

that the “secret” to Washington’s excellence lay in his

completeness, in how he united the military, political, and

personal skills necessary to lead a nation in war and peace.

Despite being an “imperfect commander”–and at times even a

tactically suspect one–Washington nevertheless possessed the

requisite combination of vision, integrity, talents, and good

fortune to lead America to victory in its war for independence. At

once informative and engaging, and filled with some eye-opening

revelati*** about Washington, the American Revolution, and the very

nature of military command, General Ge***e Washington is a book

that reintroduces readers to a figure many think they already

know.

“The book’s balanced assessment of Washington is satisfying and

thought-provoking. Lengel gives us a believable Washington . . .

the most admired man of his generation by far.”

–The Washington Post Book World

“A compelling picture of a man who was ‘the archetypal American

soldier’ . . . The sum of his parts was the greatness of

Washington.”

–The Boston Globe

“[An] excellent book . . . fresh insights . . . If you have room

on your bookshelf for only one book on the Revolution, this may be

it.”

–The Washington Times
