Mark Puls delivers a compelling portrait of the Revolutionary War general who played a key role in all of George Washington's battles.
During the Siege of Boston, Henry Knox's amazing 300 mile transport of forty nine cannons from Ticonderoga saved the city. Building upon his talent for logistics, Knox engineered Washington's famous Christmas night passage to safety across the Delaware River. And it was the general's tactical successes that made the final victory at Yorktown possible. With riveting battle scenes, inspiring patriotism, and vivid prose, Puls breathes new life into the American Revolution and firmly re-establishes Knox in his deserved place in history.
“Bringing 18th Century America to life is no easy task, particularly when military leaders from the Revolutionary War are at center stage. In Henry Knox, General of the American Revolution, however, Mark Puls does that smoothly and even superbly, making the reader feel familiar and comfortable with all of them, particularly the hero. And hero he truly was, as Puls so well records. This is clearly a masterful work.” ―Tom Carhart author of Lost Triumph: Lee’s Real Plan at Gettysburg -- and Why It Failed
“Any Founding Father who ends his days in such a fighting spirit deserves still more of our attention. Samuel Adams is a good place to start.” ―The Wall Street Journal on Samuel Adams
“Here, at last, is a new life of the man that recovers his crucial role as the Lenin of the American Revolution.” ―Joseph J. Ellis, author of Founding Brothers, on Samuel Adams
“American history buffs will enjoy Puls' fine study.” ―Publishers Weekly on Samuel Adams
“A sharply focused biography of the mastermind behind the American colonies' break with England.” ―Kirkus on Samuel Adams
