Publisher's Summary:
Like many historical events, the American Revolution is sometimes overlooked, ignored, or minimized by historians due to being shrouded in romantic myth and stubborn stereotypes. Here historian Phillip Thomas Tucker provides an in-depth look at the events of the Battle of Trenton, weeding out fiction and legend and presenting new insights and analysis. Stories from many forgotten individuals of the war, including officers and soldiers from both sides, bring to life the Continental armys desperate circumstances and shocking victory. Myths that Tucker debunks include the Hessians slovenly drunkenness, Washington acting alone in creating the attack strategy, and Ralls incompetence as a leader contributing widely to his troops defeat.
By exploring the forgotten aspects of one of Americas most famous battles, Trentons story proves to be even more revealing and fascinating. In the end, Americas founding was nothing short of miraculous, and no chapter of Americas story was more miraculous than Washingtons improbable success at the battle of Trenton, where Americas fate was decided to almost everyones amazement on a dark, snowy morning.
