2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. concerning a topic that I like. But the writing style lacks any styleBy RedThe overall material is very interesting; concerning a topic that I like. But the writing style lacks any style. It is very nuts and bolts; and therefore; it is rather dry reading. There are also some typos and/or unexpected jumping around regarding a couple of dates that really made of few spots confusing. If you don't mind the flaws; it is about an area of Washington's greatness that is finally getting recognition.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Fascinating...By Bob WilsonI always admired Washington; but now I admire him even more. This book was filled with fascinating information. Washington was a brilliant strategist. I'm very glad I read this book.The only reason I didn't give this book 5 stars; was the writing style was kind of like a text book - just presenting facts. A more engaging writing style would have helped.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A good readBy K. L. BauerSomewhat dry at times; but well researched; excellent original source materials; a good read for those interested in how George Washington won against the superior might of the British army and navy. I have a relative who was a spy for Washington in Virginia (latter part of the Revolutionary War); which is why I wanted to read this book.
