Appointed Major General by the Continental Congress in 1775, George
Washington, the future President of the United States of America,
was one of the most significant and influential witnesses to the
American Revolutionary War (1775 1783). Published in England in
1795, twelve years after the end of the conflict, this two-volume
collection of the letters he wrote to Congress during the war
provides unique insights into both the military strategies employed
and the evolving values that underpinned them. Taking up the
narrative in January 1777, Volume 2 demonstrates a gradual shift in
emphasis away from an army in battle, hampered by the weather and
the terrain, towards the political negotiations and nation-forging
that followed. Ever humble in his tone, Washington displays the
diplomacy and vision that was to characterize his presidency.
