George Washington, A Novice General

But it quickly became clear, Washington was instinctively, brilliantly, a political general.
Rick Atkinson, best-selling author and winner of the Pulitzer Prize, explores the Revolutionary War in a new trilogy. Learn more: https://www.mountvernon.org/rickatkinson
