George Washington’s War: The Saga of the American Revolution by Robert Leckie
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.1 MB
Overview: Leckie, who has written popular histories of the American Civil War, World War II, the Korean War, and others, now offers a fife-and-drum account of the American Revolution.
This book, like his others, is long on anecdote and short on analysis. Leckie drags out many tired commonplaces, casting the patriots as heroes and the British as villains, and he focuses on kings and generals rather than common soldiers or a people at war. Leckie’s deft vignettes of leaders and his belief that “right” won in the end give his account energy and conviction, but his old-school reading of the causes and conduct of the war and his total neglect of its consequences limit the book’s worth.
