War On The Run : The Epic Story Of Robert Rogers And The Conquest Of America’s First Frontier

Attribution
John F. Ross
Publication Details
Book, Bantam Books, 2009
Description
Hailed as the father of today?s elite special forces, Robert Rogers was not only a wilderness warrior but North America?s first noteworthy playwright and authentic celebrity. Ross reconstructs the extraordinary achievements of this fearless and inspiring leader whose exploits in the early New England wilderness read like those of an action hero and whose innovative principles of unconventional warfare are still used today. The child of marginalized Scots-Irish immigrants, Robert Rogers learned to survive in New England?s dark and deadly forests, grasping, as did few others, that a new world required new forms of warfare.

Washington’s Secret War : The Hidden History Of Valley Forge

Attribution
Thomas Fleming
Publication Details
Book, 1st Smithsonian Books ed, Smithsonian Books/Collins, 2005
Description
George Washington’s threat to resign during the fateful winter at Valley Forge is just one of the many revelations awaiting the reader in Thomas Fleming’s startling new book. The American Revolution and 1776: Year of Illusions, Thomas Fleming has returned to the American Revolution, demolishing long-accepted fictions of Valley Forge and cutting through layers of myth to reveal a hitherto unknown side of George Washington. While many histories portray Washington as a man who transcended politics, Fleming’s Washington is an exceedingly complex man, a man whose political maneuvering allowed him to retain his command, even as he simultaneously struggled to prevent the Continental Army from dissolving into mutiny at Valley Forge.
