Information sur l'oeuvreWashington's Secret War par Thomas Fleming (2005)
![]() Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. ![]() ![]() Very enjoyable book. It clearly shows the pressure General Washington was under not just because his soldiers at Valley Forge lacked proper clothing, heat, or food. There were many people, both in Congress and in his own army, who were out to dethrone him. The book highlights Washington's political as well as military talents as he often subtly and diplomatically impunes those who are trying to damage his reputation by making false assumptions or outright dishonest claims against him. Wow. I've been coming to respect George Washington more and more, and this book just elevated him in my esteem even higher. I am stunned to discover that Congress was as divisive and idiotic as it is today, with ruinous zealots on both sides. Washington gave us our liberty from England; if any of these other idiots had had their way, we'd be speaking English today! Wait... We'd be paying our respects to the Queen! There we go. Anyway, George Washington was an amazing leader. - My first book by Thomas Fleming and as a result I hope to read many more - Great book detailing GW struggle to maintain his army and his internal battles against Congress/Generals who were determined to see GW replaced - Tremendously researched book that provides evidenced that GW was indeed our most critical founding father and highlights GW leadership/ethics - I loved the short chapters used in this book - This book adds further evidence to the greatness of GW aucune critique | ajouter une critique
