Now in paperback, Lynne Cheney's dramatic and New York Times"
bestselling account of a great leader's patriotic feat.
Christmas night, 1776, was a troubled time for our young country.
In the six months since the Declaration of Independence had been
signed, General George Washington and his troops had suffered
defeat after defeat at the hands of the British. It looked as
though our struggle for independence might be doomed, when
Washington made a bold decision. He would lead the main body of his
army across the Delaware River and launch a surprise attack on
enemy forces.
Washington and his men were going against the odds. It seemed
impossible that the ragtag Americans could succeed against the
mightiest power in the world. But the men who started across the
icy Delaware loved their country and their leader. Under his
command they would turn the tide of battle and change the course of
history.
Now in paperback for the first time, this story of the military
campaign that began on Christmas night in 1776 will teach readers
about the heroism, persistence, and patriotism of those who came
before them.
