December 17, 1776. Hounded by superior British forces, his army decimated by disease, desertion and lack of funds, General George Washington faces the unthinkable: he is losing the war for American independence. A week later, on Christmas Eve, Washington will embark on one of the most profound gambles in military history. Staking everything on a fantastically risky surprise attack against a garrison of battle-hardened Hessian mercenaries, Washington sets out across the ice-choked Delaware River -- into a desperate confrontation in which his career, his life and the American Revolution itself all hang in the balance concluding into one of the greatest victories of all time. Reader Reviews although a bit slow in some places, I thought the portrayal of Washington was excellent.
