Book Synopsis General George Washington by : Edward G. Lengel
Download or read book General George Washington written by Edward G. Lengel and published by Random House. This book was released on 2005-06-07 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written in the past two centuries about George Washington the statesman and “father of his country.” Less often discussed is Washington’s military career, including his exploits as a young officer and his performance as the Revolutionary War commander in chief. Now, in a revealing work of historical biography, Edward Lengel has written the definitive account of George Washington the soldier. Based largely on Washington’s personal papers, this engrossing book paints a vivid, factual portrait of a man to whom lore and legend so tenaciously cling. To Lengel, Washington was the imperfect commander. Washington possessed no great tactical ingenuity, and his acknowledged “brilliance in retreat” only demonstrates the role luck plays in the fortunes of all great men. He was not an enlisted man’s leader; he made a point of never mingling with his troops. He was not an especially creative military thinker; he fought largely by the book. He was not a professional, but a citizen soldier, who, at a time when warfare demanded that armies maneuver efficiently in precise formation, had little practical training handling men in combat. Yet despite his flaws, Washington was a remarkable figure, a true man of the moment, a leader who possessed a clear strategic, national, and continental vision, and who inspired complete loyalty from his fellow revolutionaries, officers, and enlisted men. America could never have won freedom without him. A trained surveyor, Washington mastered topography and used his superior knowledge of battlegrounds to maximum effect. He appreciated the importance of good allies in times of crisis, and understood well the benefits of coordination of ground and naval forces. Like the American nation itself, he was a whole that was greater than the sum of its parts–a remarkable everyman whose acts determined the course of history. Lengel argues that Washington’s excellence was in his completeness, in how he united the military, political, and personal skills necessary to lead a nation in war and peace. At once informative and engaging, and filled with some eye-opening revelations about Washington, the war for American independence, and the very nature of military command, General George Washington is a book that reintroduces readers to a figure many think they already know.

Download or read book Soldier and Patriot written by Frances May Owen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Soldier and Patriot: The Story of George Washington The fact of this evenness, and absence of special develop ment, makes the history of his life difficult to write. It is the irregularities, the eccentricities, the ruggedness of a character, which furnish anecdotes and incidents. The circumstances of Washington's career were indeed varied enough, involved as they were with the principal events of the American assertion of independence, but through them all the man moves on with a calm and stately tread, exhibiting to us perhaps more than anything else the nobility of common sense. In making the following brief sketch, I have been obliged to dwell upon the outward features of his career to exemplify his character. This must be my excuse if I have seemed to introduce too much of military detail; but at the same time I would have it remembered that it is Washington, and not the history of America, I have tried to sketch.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Washington, Vol. 1 of 3: A Biography Personal, Military, and Political AT the close Of the Civil War, in which the Government founded by washington and his compatriots vindicated its rightful authority and the truth that an enlightened people may be safely invested with political sovereignty, it seems to be an appropriate service to present to that people a full record of the life and times of their great leader, to whom the lovers of liberty in all lands pay the homage of profound veneration. He will ever appear in History as the central figure of the group of statesmen who fashioned a Re public out of several independent colonies, and established a Nation upon the representative principle which makes Democracy compat ible with a stable and powerful central government, having the form of an Aristocracy, but absolutely responsible to, and under the control of the People.

This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington and His Generals, Vol. 1 of 2 Some would think that such men as Morgan, and Henry Lee, and Sumpter, and Pickens, and Clinton, and others deserve a prominent place, and so they do; but acting in a subordinate capacity, it is impossible to place them in any other relative position. Lee and Morgan especially, merit all the praise bestowed on any chief commander. I have therefore endeavored to render them, and others justice, in describing the battles they helped to gain; and in an Appen dix supplied their biograjphies. Colonel Hamilton too was one of the most important men of the Revolution but as aid to Washington, his services partook more of the cabinet than of the field. Probably, there was no officer in the service more capable of managing an army, or that would have shed greater lustre on our arms than he. But Washington could not Spare him from his Side. Chivalrous, brave, of profound forethought, and trancendent genius, he would have run a military career surpassed by none. Still he rendered greater service where he was - for the daring and resolute youth was one Of the firmest props of Washington. But as my design is to sketch the military part of the Revolution, and also to confine myself to the chief commanders, I have not incorporated him in the work.
