NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Nathaniel Philbrick is a masterly
storyteller. Here he seeks to elevate the naval battles between the
French and British to a central place in the history of the
American Revolution. He succeeds, marvelously."--The New York Times
Book Review The thrilling story of the year that won the
Revolutionary War from the New York Times bestselling author of In
the Heart of the Sea and Mayflower. In the concluding volume of his
acclaimed American Revolution series, Nathaniel Philbrick tells the
thrilling story of the year that won the Revolutionary War. In the
fall of 1780, after five frustrating years of war, George
Washington had come to realize that the only way to defeat the
British Empire was with the help of the French navy. But
coordinating his army's movements with those of a fleet of warships
based thousands of miles away was next to impossible. And then, on
September 5, 1781, the impossible happened. Recognized today as one
of the most important naval engagements in the history of the
world, the Battle of the Chesapeake-fought without a single
American ship-made the subsequent victory of the Americans at
Yorktown a virtual inevitability. A riveting and wide-ranging
story, full of dramatic, unexpected turns, In the Hurricane's Eye
reveals that the fate of the American Revolution depended, in the
end, on Washington and the sea.
