The Crucial Revolutionary War Battles Of Princeton and Trenton
Chased out of New York and across New Jersey by a large, vengeful British army, the Americans took refuge in Pennsylvania and Washington conjured up a plan, crossing the Delaware on Christmas night. Desperation had driven him to this perilous moment and for all its melodrama, the assault shows Washington’s generalship at its finest.
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
