George Washington: The Crossing

Author: Jack E. Levin & Mark R. Levin
Stars: 1
Review by: Mandy Apgar


Note to readers - a small book with large print and numerous pictures not all relating to your subject means two things - one, the author doesn't have much of substance to say and what he does have to say is very little and basic. It also does not look good if your insightful introduction is written by your son. Probably because he couldn't get much anyone else to pay attention. Very dull and boring, it does indeed do a good job of summarizing the events leading to the crossing but fails to really explain why it was so valuable and how he did it other than a basic "it was cold" and exaggerating certain aspects of the Delaware itself. A book more so on the image behind the famous painting instead of what really happened.
