Led by the Continental Congress, the Americans almost lost their
war for independence because their military thinking was badly
muddled. The embryo nation narrowly escaped from the disastrous
results of these misconceptions thanks to the levelheaded
intelligence of one man: General George Washington. Following the
flush of small victories in 1775, patriot leaders were convinced
that the key to victory was the homegrown militia--local men
defending their families and homes. Washington knew that having and
maintaining an army of regular professional soldiers was the only
way to win independence. He fought bitterly with the leaders in
Congress over the creation of a regular army. In the end, he and
his army prevailed. In Strategy of Victory, prolific historian
Thomas Fleming examines the battles that created American
independence, revealing how the strategy of a professional army,
backed by a corps of citizen soldiers determined to fight for their
freedom, worked on the battlefield, securing victory, independence
and a lasting peace for the young nation.
