George Washington influenced every phase of the Revolutionary war. His offenses were as brilliant as they were unpredictable, and it is this fearless but not reckless, spontaneous but calculated, offensive approach that Carbone argues Washington should be remembered for - as a leader not of infallibility but of greatness.
Klappentext zu „Washington “
Before he became "the Father of our Country," George Washington was the Father of the American Army. He took an army that had no experience, no tradition, and no training, and fought a protracted war against the best, most disciplined force in the world - the British Army. Deftly handling the political realm, he left his mark with a vision of the Revolution as a war of attrition and his offenses which were as brilliant as they were unpredictable. In Washington , award-winning author Gerald M. Carbone argues that it is this sort of fearless but not reckless, spontaneous but calculated, offensive that Washington should be remembered for - as a leader not of infallibility but of greatness.Before he became "the Father of our Country," George Washington was the Father of the American Army.

Rezension zu „Washington “
Praise for Washington: 'Good generalship is about tactics, but great generalship requires vision, grit, character, charisma, daring, and drive. Despite losing more battles than he won, Washington enjoyed these virtues in spades, and Carbone persuasively makes the case for greatness in his vigorous, stirring account of this essential Founding Father's military career." - Alexander Rose, author of Washington's Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring 'Ged Carbone's military biography of George Washington is both concise and action-packed, chronicling the most dramatic moments of his career and exposing the essence of his greatness. It will satisfy readers at all levels, from armchair generals to scholars.' - Edward G. Lengel, author of General George Washington: A Military Life 'With this book, Ged Carbone reminds us that greatness is not simply a matter of victories on the battlefield. Greatness is about leadership, determination, and character.' - Terry Golway, author of Washington's General
