Don Higginbotham investigates the interplay of militiaman and professional soldier, of soldier and legislator, that shaped George Washington's military career and ultimately fostered the victory that brought independence to our Nation. The author suggests that the crucial blend of civil and military concerns that governed Washington's conduct of the Revolution has been variously regarded and only seldom repeated by later generations of American leaders.
