Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six months after the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution was all but lost. A powerful British force had routed the Americans at New York, occupied three colonies, and advanced within sight of Philadelphia. Yet, as David Hackett Fischer recounts in this riveting history, George Washington--and many other Americans--refused to let the Revolution die. On Christmas night, as a howling nor'easter struck the Delaware Valley, he led his men across the river and attacked the exhausted Hessian garrison at Trenton, killing or capturing nearly a thousand men. A second battle of Trenton followed within days. The Americans held off a counterattack by Lord Cornwallis's best troops, then were almost trapped by the British force. Under cover of night, Washington's men stole behind the enemy and struck them again, defeating a brigade at Princeton. The British were badly shaken. In twelve weeks of winter fighting, their army suffered severe damage, their hold on New Jersey was broken, and their strategy was ruined. Fischer's richly textured narrative reveals the crucial role of contingency in these events. We see how the campaign unfolded in a sequence of difficult choices by many actors, from generals to civilians, on both sides. While British and German forces remained rigid and hierarchical, Americans evolved an open and flexible system that was fundamental to their success. The startling success of Washington and his compatriots not only saved the faltering American Revolution, but helped to give it new meaning.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 60th Virginia Regiment was aconsolidation of pro-slavery menand yeoman farmers devoted toattaining Virginia's independence.Most within the regiment neverowned a slave and served with apremise of gaining sovereignty andindependence for Virginia, others,primarily in leadership and highersocial standing most probably hadmore motivations in mind. TheSixtieth fought in some of themost grievous battles occupyingAmerican soil. Externally, thisregiment would appear like anyother, but internally, they wereunique as they were on manyoccasions directed to the mostcrucial segment of the battlefieldwhere the onslaught andoverwhelming pressure wereapplied by their adversary. Inseveral of these cases, their linebroke, and the battle was lost. Thequestion is why would an ordinaryregiment be placed in such vitaland strategic points upon thebattlefield on so many occasions?The answer is uncomplicated, it'sbecause their commanders hadfaith that they could do theunthinkable. That this regimentwas the best. That these few battlehardenedveterans could succeedwhere others couldn't. The truth isthat these men were asked to dowhat no mortal man could do,which is to overcome the primaryfocal point and assault of a battlewith a regiment that neveramounted to more than 600 menon the field. It is only fitting thatthe regiment's motto beincorporated as the title of thisbook.
