Washington's General
by Terry Golway, 315pgs, hardcover
Amazon site
Official Grade: B+
Golway has pretty decent writing style, which is important in historical writing otherwise it can be mind-numbingly dull. I didn't really have any agenda behind reading this book, I just saw it at the library and picked it up. Anyway, this book is about Nathanael Greene, one of Washington's sub-generals during the Revolutionary War. Like most of the early patriots he was a pretty interesting fellow, and this book mostly details his involvement in the Continental military during the war. Though he never won any outright victories, Greene was awfully important to the army's success.
