内容简介

We all know George Washington as the Father of the American Nation; few know him as a 22-year-old Virginia lieutenant colonel who led three-hundred of his soldiers to fight a far-more-experienced French army--and paid a high price. Historian Alan Axelrod brings this little-known story to life in his riveting account of the key battle that launched the French and Indian War--and Washington's role in the loss of that pivotal fight. Published in hardcover in 2007, Blooding at Great Meadows is sure to find a new audience in paperback.
