The book focuses on a side of Washington that is often overlooked: the feisty young frontier officer and the early career of the tough forty-something commander of the revolutionaries ragtag Continental Army.  Award-winning historian Stephen Brumwell shows how  ironically  Washingtons reliance upon English models of \"gentlemanly\" conduct  and on British military organization  was crucial in establishing his leadership of the fledgling Continental Army  and in forging it into the weapon that secured American independence. Drawing on a wide range of sources  including original archival research  Brumwell brings a fresh new perspective on this extraordinary individual  whose fusion of gentleman and warrior left an indelible imprint on history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67968933429301,"sku":"ByrdShop_1623658454","price":56.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781623658458.jpg?v=1794570337","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/george-washington-gentleman-warrior-9781623658458","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
