George Washington's Great Gamble by James L Nelson

AppId is over the quota

This book about the American Revolution relates happenings that helped to end the war. It encompasses land battles and sea battles. Disappointments and victories of both sides. Actions and thoughts of the main characters involved in the action. Well written and easy to read. It covers the last year, 1781, of the war and clearly tells how an American Victory, with French assistance came to be.

The Author places the leading characters involved, in this last year of the war, in their places like a chess board. Washington's poorly equipped army keeping watch over the larger British Forces in New York City. Benedict Arnold having gone over to the British Side was sent to the Virginia Area, by the British, to destroy positions and interfere with the attempts of the Northern Colonies to send supplies and men to the deep south. Lafayette becomes an American General sent to capture Arnold. The British plans to subdue the Southern Colonies and then to move north to subdue the rest. He tells how Cornwallis fought against Greene in the South.

The importance of the lack of good communication during the war is shown. Washington had to rely on messengers on land while the British had the use of the Sea for faster communications and for movement of men and equipment.

Washington needed a Navy to contest the British rule of the sea. When the French came into the picture, declaring war on the British, and promised help to the Americans he hoped he had found a Navy. Could he count on the French to do what they had promised? Spain declared war on England soon after causing more problems for the British.

The Author puts everyone's problems and actions together, including the mistakes made, by both sides, to clearly show how the end came about. The Sea Battle that follows is shown as to tactics, weather, and luck as how it helped to influence the ending. A good description of how sea battles were fought in those days.

George Washington's Gamble is a well written, interesting and entertaining description of the actual happenings of the Revolutionary War. You will be surprised the animosity and differences between the British leaders in the Americas.

I would recommend it to History Buffs as well as the General Public.
