- Summary:
- "From December 1777 through June 1778, the American Revolution achieved a remarkable turnaround. Rarely presented as a standalone narrative, this six-month period saw the Continental Army recover from abject demoralization at Valley Forge to achieve a stunning victory against the British at Monmouth Courthouse. This compelling history chronicles the pivotal moment of the Revolution-from the consequential leadership of General Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette to the experiences of the men who marched and fought in the ranks-and reexamines one of the most controversial periods of early American history."
