Download or read book A Compilation of the Articles of War of the Continental Army of the United States As Authorized by the Congress written by Jim Daniel and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-08 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Articles of War are the compilation of regulations created to govern the operations of the issuing country's military. At the outbreak of the American Revolution there were no such regulations in existence... there had never been an American Army, only militias from the various colonies. In June of 1775, noting the current state of hostilities between Great Britain and the colonies, the Congress drafted and authorized the first set of Articles of War for the newly formed American Army. Within the next year, hostilities intensified and American Independence was declared. The first set of Articles of War was found inadequate. An expanded edition was authorized in September of 1776. This compilation of public domain materials contains both sets of Articles, offering the historian, interpreter, and reenactor a look into the daily operations of the Continental Army.

Download or read book General George Washington written by Edward G. Lengel and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2007-01-09 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The most comprehensive and authoritative study of Washington’s military career ever written.” –Joseph J. Ellis, author of His Excellency: George Washington Based largely on George Washington’s personal papers, this engrossing book paints a vivid, factual portrait of Washington the soldier. An expert in military history, Edward Lengel demonstrates that the “secret” to Washington’s excellence lay in his completeness, in how he united the military, political, and personal skills necessary to lead a nation in war and peace. Despite being an “imperfect commander”–and at times even a tactically suspect one–Washington nevertheless possessed the requisite combination of vision, integrity, talents, and good fortune to lead America to victory in its war for independence. At once informative and engaging, and filled with some eye-opening revelations about Washington, the American Revolution, and the very nature of military command, General George Washington is a book that reintroduces readers to a figure many think they already know. “The book’s balanced assessment of Washington is satisfying and thought-provoking. Lengel gives us a believable Washington . . . the most admired man of his generation by far.” –The Washington Post Book World “A compelling picture of a man who was ‘the archetypal American soldier’ . . . The sum of his parts was the greatness of Washington.” –The Boston Globe “[An] excellent book . . . fresh insights . . . If you have room on your bookshelf for only one book on the Revolution, this may be it.” –The Washington Times
