Carrington, a Union general and historian of Revolutionary battles, traces Washington’s military career from his early aptitudes through the siege of Boston, the struggle for New York and the long campaigns that followed. He weighs strategy, the rivalry of Charles Lee and Gates, and the managing of a fragile army, with maps and illustrations.
