Praise for Washington: 'Good generalship is about tactics, but great generalship requires vision, grit, character, charisma, daring, and drive. Despite losing more battles than he won, Washington enjoyed these virtues in spades, and Carbone persuasively makes the case for greatness in his vigorous, stirring account of this essential Founding Father's military career." - Alexander Rose, author of Washington's Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring 'Ged Carbone's military biography of George Washington is both concise and action-packed, chronicling the most dramatic moments of his career and exposing the essence of his greatness. It will satisfy readers at all levels, from armchair generals to scholars.' - Edward G. Lengel, author of General George Washington: A Military Life 'With this book, Ged Carbone reminds us that greatness is not simply a matter of victories on the battlefield. Greatness is about leadership, determination, and character.' - Terry Golway, author of Washington's General
