"An engaging new biography . . . a rounded portrait" of an unsung hero of the American Revolution from the award-winning author (The Washington Times). When the Revolutionary War began, Nathanael Greene was a private in the militia, the lowest rank possible, yet he emerged from the war with a reputation as George Washington's most gifted and dependable officer—celebrated as one of three most important generals. Upon taking command of America's Southern Army in 1780, Nathanael Greene was handed troops that consisted of one,500 starving, nearly naked men. Gerald Carbone explains how within a year, the small worn-out army ran the British troops out of Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina and into the final trap at Yorktown. Despite his huge military successes and tactical genius Greene's story has a dark side. Gerald Carbone drew on twenty-five years of reporting and researching experience to create his chronicle of Greene's unlikely rise to success and his fall into debt and anonymity. "Carbone gives a little-known Revolutionary War leader his due in this admiring biography . . . [A] lucid account of the Revolutionary War from the point of view of its most successful general." —Kirkus Reviews "To this much-needed new biography of America's most unjustly neglected Revolutionary War hero, Gerald Carbone brings a journalist's concision, a storyteller's eye for illuminating detail, a wry New England sensibility, and a historian's diligence." —Charles F. Price, award-winning author of Season of Terror
