George Washington

The George Washington trilogy follows the American Revolution through three moments when the independence movement could still have failed. Beginning with the desperate winter campaign of 1776, it moves through the deprivation and political strain of Valley Forge before concluding with the Franco-American victory at Yorktown.

George Washington remains the central figure, but the novels widen the perspective to soldiers, pamphleteers, foreign officers and political leaders whose choices shaped the war. The sequence combines battlefield narrative with the uncertainty of command, the weakness of the Continental state and the gradual transformation of Washington’s army into a force capable of defeating Britain.
