George Washington
by Willard Randall
George Washington is the story of a man who turned an impoverished childhood and frequent humiliations at the hands of the mother he feared into a career of rebellion and creation. He learned from the British commanders who rejected him during his days on the frontier how to fight a war of rebellion. When he had worn out and nearly bankrupted his soldiers and his allies, Washington disbanded the victorious army he had forged and resigned to Congress, giving life to democratic government. George III once said that Washington would be the greatest man of the eighteenth century if he could give up power. And he did. Twice. A backwoods fighter before and during the French and Indian War, he employed a largely ragtag army of volunteers and the tactics of guerrilla warfare to defeat the world's most feared military power. His maneuvers to escape direct confrontation would be studied years later and serve as a model for Ho Chi Minh's field commanders in Vietnam. And, most important, as this fresh and authoritative narrative reveals, he exhibited the temperament for leadership in war and in peace, while suffering scoundrels, hardships, and a rogue press bent on his destruction.

BENEDICT ARNOLD - Patriot and Traitor
Randall, Willard Sterne
New Yiork, 1990, Morrow, BOMC printing, ( same size as regular edition), 6 12/2 x 9 1/2, VG/VG CONDITION, HARD COVER ION DUST JACKET, 667 PAGES, ILLUS, MAPS, NOTES, BIBLIOG., INDEX ......................................................... One of the most notorious figures in American history, Benedict Arnold is also one of the most misunderstood. For the first half of the American Revolution, Arnold was a most capable and successful battlefield commander, likened by his contemporaries to Hannibal and Julius Caesar. He built the first American fleet on Lake Champlain, fought back the British invasion fleet at Valcour Island, won the Battle of Saratoga, and, in his Homeric invasion of Quebec, nearly succeeded in making Canada the fourteenth state. How did the hero of Saratoga become the archvillain of West Point, the Judas of the American Revolution? Why did Arnold change sides when no other highly placed American general or member of Congress turned his coat? Had he been bought off or driven out? Or did he, like so many of the Loyalists he joined and led after changing sides, come to reject the very idea of breaking with England and placing life and fortunes in the hands of unproven radical leaders? .................................................................. Prizewinning journalist and historian Willard Sterne Randall unravels the web of personal drama and political intrigue that led to the infamous betrayal. Citing previously unpublished financial records impounded since 1780 and more than one hundred letters between Arnold and his second wife, Peggy Shipton, Randall explores the full story of Arnold's decision. . . . .......................................... Despite great military success, Arnold was never paid for most of his service and was never honored by Congress for his victories. When Major John Andre—charismatic British spymaster and a friend of Arnold's wife— approached the disenchanted general, Arnold was . ISBN: 1-55710-034-9.
