Prize-winning historian Rick Atkinson provides a riveting narrative covering the middle years of the Revolutionary War. Stationed in Paris, Benjamin Franklin wooed the French; in Pennsylvania, George Washington pleaded with Congress to deliver what he needed to continue the fight. And in New York, General William Howe, the commander of the greatest army the British have ever sent overseas, planned a new campaign against the Americans—even as he lost faith that he could win.
