George Washington's War: The Saga of the American Revolution

An older book, 1993, but a great overview of the Revolutionary period.

What I liked about it is that while dispelling the myths of fighting the British, the British quitting, and the new nation being born, author Robert Leckie brings home the painful struggle these founders endured.

We have a tendency to look back, knowing and experiencing the outcome of American independence, and wave it off, but from 1775 to 1781 this cause was in serious doubt.

George Washington's greatness, though not overdone in words by the author, shines through the lines and pages.

Not a religious book, but the improbable revolution that sustained itself against the world's greatest power at the time, with no history to draw from of successful revolutions of this nature past, "George Washington's War" compels the reader acknowledge ---or at least consider--- a divine intervention into history.
