I’m moaning this is so well-written 🤩 a devastating but highly entertaining recounting of Washington’s disastrous loss of Manhattan starts the book 😱 The British Navy’s ships were so elitely trained, they landed 4,000 men in just 10 minutes 🥺 Washington was at first devastated then furious at the total breakdown of his petrified, retreating troops. Love his fury and hunger to win 😍
