Book Reviews of Washington's Crossing (Pivotal Moments in American History)

Book Review: A "Must Have" for Historians -- Armchair and Professional
Summary: 5 Stars

For a book about one singularly important event in American History, Fischer does a magnificent job laying out the differences between the generals, the armies, and the events leading up to the Christmas Eve crossing that was Washington's greatest gamble to revive the fledgling Revolt against the mother country. Historically sound, well written, and accompanied by excellently detailed maps, "Washington's Crossing" is one book that should be on the book shelf of every historian, whether they are armchair or professional in their pursuits.
