While we often focus on the events of the major battles and the political outcomes of the American Revolution, it is the details that made all the difference in securing America's independence.Frequently hailed as a great leader, George Washington's greatest accomplishment was to hold the Continental Army together. In this book, The Administration of the American Army, historian Louis Clinton Hatch examines how Washington kept the army together. He examines every major aspect of running the army, from pay to mutiny, and from teh role of foreign leaders to teh failures of Congress to treat soldiers fairly.The first major modern and critical study on this topic, Hatch's work was a pioneering entry in the Harvard Historical Studies series, laying the foundation for military administrative study.
