Beskrivelse af George Washington's Military Genius
Too often George Washington gets dismissed as little more than a bumbling but lucky military leader. Not so, says distinguished military historian Dave R. Palmer in his compelling volume. Palmer shows in convincing fashion how Washington showed courageous flexibility in formulating the strategy that would bring the rebellious Americans victory in their War for Independence. From beginning to end, George Washington s Military Genius makes for gripping reading....Highly recommended!!"James Kirby Martin, author of the award-winning Benedict Arnold, Revolutionary Hero: An American Warrior Reconsidered Too many Americansincluding scholarsdownplay Washington s military leadership, implying he was just the right man at the right place. General Palmer demonstrates once and for all that Washington had a strategy to win the war, and the determination to survive against all odds. James C. Rees, president of the Mount Vernon Ladies Association Palmer makes a convincing case that America is free, united, and governed by civilians because of Washington s strategic foresight and tactical brilliance. Publishers Weekly Dave Palmer rightly portrays General George Washington as a shrewd and effective commander in chief who understood better than anyoneAmerican or Britishthe connection between political goals and military operations during the American Revolutionary War. Palmer s superb history is clearheaded and insightfulanyone interested in the art of war at the strategic level will find this thoughtful book indispensable.
