| Summary |
History has immortalized George Washington, but has largely forgotten those who helped to propel him to greatness-the men who served as his aides-de-camp during the Revolutionary War. George Washington's Indispensable Men details their fascinating and sometimes tragic lives, providing a new and refreshing look at the American Revolution. |
