Summary
The Strategy of Victory examines George Washington's military leadership during the American Revolution, arguing that his success stemmed from strategic brilliance rather than luck or circumstance. Thomas Fleming analyzes Washington's evolving approach to warfare, from early conventional tactics to his eventual mastery of defensive strategy, strategic retreats, and calculated strikes. The book highlights how Washington kept the Continental Army intact through difficult winters and defeats, ultimately wearing down British forces through a war of attrition. Fleming portrays Washington as a pragmatic commander who adapted his strategies to overcome superior British military power and secure American independence.
