PDF Gender Politics and Mass Dictatorship: Global Perspectives (Mass Dictatorship in the Twentieth Century) by From Lim Jie Hyun Petrone Karen in History

Description

When the Revolutionary War began; Nathanael Greene was a private in the militia; the lowest rank possible; yet he emerged from the war with a reputation as George Washington's most gifted and dependable officer--celebrated as one of three most important generals. Upon taking command of America's Southern Army in 1780; Nathanael Greene was handed troops that consisted of 1;500 starving; nearly naked men. Gerald Carbone explains how within a year; the small worn-out army ran the British troops out of Georgia; South Carolina; and North Carolina and into the final trap at Yorktown. Despite his huge military successes and tactical genius Greene's story has a dark side. Gerald Carbone drew on 25 years of reporting and researching experience to create his chronicle of Greene's unlikely rise to success and his fall into debt and anonymity.
