A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Mark Puls delivers a compelling portrait of the Revolutionary War general who played a key role in all of George Washington's battles. In the Siege of Boston, Henry Knox's amazing 300 mile transport of 49 cannons from Ticonderoga saved the city. Building upon his talent for logistics, Knox engineered Washington's famous Christmas night passage to safety across the Delaware River. And it was the general's tactical successes that made the final victory at Yorktown possible. Packed with riveting battle scenes, inspiring patriotism, and vivid prose, Henry Knox reveals Puls' deep understanding of his subject, as he breathes new life into the American Revolution and firmly re-establishes Knox in his deserved place in history.
