Washington's Crossing by David Hackett Fischer

This book details the events surrounding Washington's crossing of the Delaware - an event that served as a critical momentum shift for Americans in the Revolutionary War. I kept finding myself comparing this book to Fisher's other book entitled Paul Revere's Ride, which offered historical facts alongside details that allowed me to imagine Paul Revere as a person. Though definitely informative, I wish more of that human element about George Washington had emerged in this book.
