�The Revolutionary War in the South increasingly absorbs the
attention of historians and of the public. Nathanael Greene was
central to that war's outcome, and with the recent completion of
the publication of his papers, we have gained more and more insight
into his character and his role in the ultimate victory. The essays
in this volume represent a major push forward. Here we begin to
learn about Greene as a manager, as a manipulator, as a thinker,
and as a fighter. Highly recommended!��Wayne E. Lee, Professor of
History, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chair of the
Curriculum in Peace, War, and Defense
�These chapters represent an insightful commentary on Nathanael
Greene. It draws from a variety of authors who have studied Greene
and his life. Each author brings depth to examining one aspect of
Greene�s life. There is much food for thought here because the
chapters examine not only Greene�s military expertise but his
social and political acumen as he progresses from Northern merchant
soldier to Southern general and planter. It is clear that Greene,
the man, changed as the war progressed and his education received
practical training in all facets of being a citizen
soldier.��Lawrence E. Babits, George Washington Distinguished
Professor (ret) and author of A Devil of a Whipping: The Battle of
Cowpens
