Valley Forge: George Washington and the Crucible of… di Newt Gingrich

Reason read: war room challenge, US war of independence
This was the second book I read about the war of independence and the two books meshed well. I enjoyed listening to this audiobook. The reader did a good job and the story was engaging. This covers the build up of a Patriot troops that could actually win a battle.
