"If I could give this 6 STARS, I would! I know how the Revolutionary War turned out - I mean I don't have high tea & crumpets every afternoon, I don't use the term "bloody" as my of swear word of choice, and I tend to think of football as the gridiron variety. But this book was a real page turner for me... I simply HAD to read on to see which side was going to win! David Hackett Fischer's accounting brings clarity to the detailed history without getting bogged down in the minutia of historical dredging. It remains a favorite for me."
"Interesting history of the Revolutionary War period and George Washington's role. The author shows how Washington was a true hero, being resilient in the face of disappointments. The book also demonstrates that all of America's wars, beginning with the revolution, have begun as uphill struggles before the triumphs.
This book has a number of advantages, particularly the author's emphasis on how Enlightenment philosophy influenced the various participants in the revolution. This is the first book I've read that includes an in-depth analysis of the role of the Hessian troops, and I learned a lot about these people that is not available in other books. I was also interested to learn about the non-British ethnic groups living in America at the time, and the role that they played in the revolution."
"If you've ever ridden on Route 1 in New Jersey (known in the past as the Old Post Road), this book has interest beyond being historically fascinating. When you're reading about the Battles of Princeton and Trenton, and you read that Washington's men passed unseen and unheard within a mile of the British, it makes a drive along Route 1 in the Princeton/Trenton area a ride of different dimensions. Blot out all those malls, restaurants and retailers and think about Washington and his men on cold winter's nights."
"Great book, guess what the Hessian's weren't drunk. The Trenton/Princeton campaign really was the turning point of the War. David Hackett Fischer is a historian of the first order. The reference section alone is worth reading the book. He includes causality statistics along with how the three armies (British, Hessian, American) were affected by disease and malnutrition. The Historiography section is really good for the readers that are interested Highly recommended history!"
