George Washington's Indispensable Men

While history has immortalized George Washington, it has largely forgotten those who helped to propel him to greatness-the thirty-two men who served as his aides-de-camp during the Revolutionary War. Washington relied heavily on these men-among them a young Alexander Hamilton-for help in formulating policy and strategy. George Washington's Indispensable Men details the fascinating and sometimes tragic lives of these aides, providing a new and refreshing look at the American Revolution.
