Reviews

Washington as the hot-blooded, impetuous militia officer is quite different from Washington the Virginia burgess. Yet both roles offered opportunities for leadership training that were essential in Washington’s preparation for supreme command. . . . There are few books like this; Higginbotham’s study represents an amalgamation of prior views of Washington within the framework of a unique American military tradition." — Choice

"Historians and all those concerned with American traditions will find this book informative, provocative, and highly satisfying." — Journal of American History
