George Washington was a man of honor, and his soldiers loved him-even if his military strategies were a bit shaky. Almost everyone in Congress liked Thomas Jefferson, though no one liked his constant leaves of absence. Benedict Arnold cut a dashing figure with the ladies, but when a suitor came to court his sister, Arnold reached for his pistols. All the dynamic personalities, all the legendary moments from the Revolution come to life in this vivid portrait of early American history.
