George Washington

With the warm-hearted patriotism and passion he brought to his beautiful volume Abraham Lincolns Gettysburg Address Illustrated, Jack E. Levin now illuminates a profound turning point of the American Revolution: the decisive Battle of Trenton and its preludeGeneral George Washington leading his broken and ailing troops in a fleet of small wooden boats across the ice-encased Delaware River. While one iconic 19th-century painting made the crossing a familiar image, the significance of the against-all-odds victory put into motion on Christmas night, 1776, cannot be told enough. Jack Levin brings to light several vital perspectives, and draws his text from General Washingtons letter to the Continental Congress to describe the amazing account of the unlikely defeat of the Hessian army at Trenton. As a father, Jack Levin inspired his sonsincluding Mark R. Levin, the national talk-radio host and #1 bestselling author, and Douglas and Robertwith his love for America. Around the family table, he would share the facts and events of the nations founding, spark lively debates, and pass along his extensive knowledge and his deep and abiding patriotism. Featuring Revolution-era artwork, portraiture, and maps, George Washington: The Crossing imparts the same vivid, intimate telling, that of a father to his sonsthe kind of history lesson that lives in the heart forever.
