Reviews

The novel colorfully and accurately portrays Washington and other figures as they struggle with tactics, logistics, intelligence, meddling politicians, and petty rivalries Exciting historical fiction, offering insight into just how close George Washington and the Americans came to losing the war. "Publishers Weekly" Augmented with character sketches of lesser-known patriots, the book brings Washington to life as a resolute and bold general. The authors shine brightly in describing the depth of his emotion flowing from the victory at Yorktown. "Kirkus" Although Gingrich and Forstchen's military sagas are always popular, count on increased interest in America's first--and only truly bipartisan--president this election season. "Booklist" Grim, gritty, realistic, accurate, and splendid, this is a soaring epic of triumph over almost unimaginable odds. "Library Journal on To Try Men's Souls""
