Too many Americans including scholars downplay Washington’s military leadership, implying he was just the right man at the right place. General Palmer demonstrates once and for all that Washington had a strategy to win the war, and the determination to survive against all odds.”
James C. Rees, president of the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association
Palmer makes a convincing case that America is free, united, and governed by civilians because of Washington’s strategic foresight and tactical brilliance.”
Publishers Weekly
Dave Palmer rightly portrays General George Washington as a shrewd and effective commander in chief who understood better than anyone American or British the connection between political goals and military operations during the American Revolutionary War. Palmer’s superb history is clearheaded and insightful anyone interested in the art of war at the strategic level will find this thoughtful book indispensable.”
Colonel Lance Betros, head of the Department of History, West Point
Many military historians dismiss George Washington as merely lucky: he won the Revolutionary War by sheer dogged persistence against a half-hearted British enemy that decided the prize wasn’t worth the cost. But this, says Lieutenant General Dave R. Palmer a combat veteran, former superintendent of West Point, and expert military historian is simply wrong. Washington’s strategy was suited to his aim and changed with the circumstances of the war but through it all he practiced the way of the fox.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. George Washingtons military strategy has been called bumbling at worst and brilliant at best. So which is it? Was George Washington a strategic genius or just lucky? So asks Dave R. Palmer in his new book, George Washingtons Military Genius. An updated edition of Palmer's earlier work, The Way of the Fox, George Washingtons Military Genius breaks down the American Revolution into four phases and analyzes Washington's strategy during each phrase. "The British did not have to lose; the patriots did not have to triumph," writes Palmer as he proves without a doubt that Washington's continuously-changing military tactics were deliberate, strategic responses to the various phases of the war, not because he lacked a plan of action. Confronting the critics who say Washington's battlefield success and ultimate victories were a function of luck, George Washington's Military Genius proves why the father of our country also deserves the title of America's preeminent strategist.
