Revolutionary: George Washington at War by Robert L. O'Connell

4.0

A somewhat different look at Washington, this book focuses on him as a military leader. The main thrust of the book is an important one to remember--Washington had the power and charisma to be a very different kind of revolutionary leader, and it was very much to America's benefit that he always put the cause first and refused the greater power others tried to thrust upon him. My one complaint is the book sometimes wanders away from Washington and into the War more generally, when I would have preferred to stick with Washington.
