George Washington's Indispensable Men

Alexander Hamilton, Tench Tilghman, and the Aides-de-Camp Who Helped Win American Independence

Description

While history has immortalized George Washington, it has largely forgotten those who helped to propel him to greatness—the thirty-two men who served as his aides-de-camp during the Revolutionary War. Washington relied heavily on these men—among them a young Alexander Hamilton—for help in formulating policy and strategy. George Washington’s Indispensable Men details the fascinating and sometimes tragic lives of these aides, providing a new and refreshing look at the American Revolution.

Reviews

A valuable addition to the literature on Washington and the Continental Army.

John Ferling, author of Almost a Miracle and Whirlwind

George Washington’s Indispensable Men admirably fills a serious game in our knowledge of the American Revolution. It should be in everyone’s library.

Thomas Fleming, author of Washington’s Secret War
