I/-alb was prepared to leave at once, if his appearance J" in camp should give rise to disagreeable remarks, or his reception should be other than a cheerful one. But, being cordially welcomed by all the American officers, he assumed the command, in the early part of November, of a division assigned him, which was formed of New England regiments." He was assailed, however, by the petty envy of the Irishman Conway. This brigadier, who subsequently acquired an unenviable prominence in the annals of the American revolution by the cabal, already inaugurated, and since designated by his name, felt himself injured and foreshortened in his claims by the appointment of Kalb as major-general. Although, like the latter, he had quitted the French service with the rank of brigadier, he endeavored to make it appear that he had fornferly been Kalb's superior officer, and was now unjustly subordinate to him. "It is with exquisite concern," writes Conway complainingly to Congress," "that I find myself slighted and forgot, when you have offered rank to persons who cost you a great deal of money, and have never rendered you the least service. Baron de Kalb, to whom you have offered the rank of Major-General, is my inferior in France." And thus he proceeded to utter his complaints and objections, winding up with a demand of a major-general's commission. He approached Washington in the same manner; but the latter knew his man too well to be influenced by threats, and coolly repelled his advances. Nevertheless, by the aid of powerful friends in Congress, and in the teeth

Excerpt from The Life of John Kalb: Major-General in the Revolutionary Army All these gentlemen are requested to accept my heartfelt thanks for the friendship thus extended. In the office of the Secretary of State at Washington I had no difficulty in obtaining the consent of General Cass to my taking copies of letters and documents relating to the subject of this memoir. Under the administration of Mr. Seward, several excerpts from a volume containing the De Kalb and the Du Coudray papers were withheld from me on the ground that they were deemed not relevant to my subject. A written demonstration to the contrary, which I furnished, received no attention. On the whole, no change has taken place in the narrow-minded jealousy with which the revolutionary documents are guarded in Washington, any more than in the neglected early education of the gentle men who guard them. The unsophisticated views of these worthy functionaries on matters of historical interest are without a parallel in the present century. The following correspondence took place between the State Department and myself in relation to this subject.

From June 1775 to February 1781, during the American War of Independence, ten patriot generals died as a result of combat wounds. Their service and deaths spanned most of the wars duration and geographical expanse. The generals were a diverse group, with six born in America and four in Europe, three coming from professional military backgrounds, and the rest citizen-soldiers, mostly with limited military experience. As the colonists won their independence, the fallen generals became martyrs for the revolutionary ideals that would inspire later generations throughout the world. Libertys Fallen Generals is the first book to analyze these key military leaders service and the quality of their leadership in light of recent scholarship on the Revolutionary War. Each generals profile provides background on military and political events leading to his emergence, assesses the general as a military leader in the war, and examines the campaign that culminated in his battle-related death. A compelling study in leadership and sacrifice, Libertys Fallen Generals is essential reading for those interested in learning more about Americas earliest heroes.

Acclaim for Lafayette "I found Mr. Unger's book exceptionally well done. It's an admirable account of the marquis's two revolutions-one might even say his two lives-the French and the American. It also captures the private Lafayette and his remarkable wife, Adrienne, in often moving detail." -Thomas Fleming, author, Liberty!: The American Revolution "Harlow Unger's Lafayette is a remarkable and dramatic account of a life as fully lived as it is possible to imagine, that of Gilbert de Motier, marquis de Lafayette. To American readers Unger's biography will provide a stark reminder of just how near run a thing was our War of Independence and the degree to which our forefathers' victory hinged on the help of our French allies, marshalled for George Washington by his 'adopted' son, Lafayette. But even more absorbing and much less well known to the general reader will be Unger's account of Lafayette's idealistic but naive efforts to plant the fruits of the American democracy he so admired in the unreceptive soil of his homeland. His inspired oratory produced not the constitutional democracy he sought but the bloody Jacobin excesses of the French Revolution."-Larry Collins, coauthor, Is Paris Burning? and O Jerusalem! "A lively and entertaining portrait of one of the most important supporting actors in the two revolutions that transformed the modern world."-Susan Dunn, author, Sister Revolutions: French Lightning, American Light "Harlow Unger has cornered the market on muses to emerge as America's most readable historian. His new biography of the marquis de Lafayette combines a thoroughgoing account of the age of revolution, a probing psychological study of a complex man, and a literary style that goes down like cream. A worthy successor to his splendid biography of Noah Webster."-Florence King, Contributing Editor, National Review "Enlightening! The picture of Lafayette's life is a window to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century history."-Michel Aubert La Fayette

How a young general shaped a nation — a fascinating account of George Washington as he faced a war and came out as America's first president The American Revolution was won not on the battlefields, but through the mind of George Washington. One of America's founding fathers, Washington's story is one that influenced how our entire nation was built. A compulsively readable narrative and extensive history, George Washington's War illuminates how during the war's winter months the young general created a new model of leadership that became the model for the American presidency. Through hardships, loss, and the brutal conditions of war, Washington led his men with cunning and grace, demonstrating the strong and endearing qualities that led him to become America's most beloved patriot.
