Revolutionary War: How Good Was George Washington?

Whisper it quietly, but could our original commander-in-chief possibly be overrated as a military leader? To find out Don is joined once again by Major Jonathan Bratten of the National Guard. Together they examine George Washington's strategic skill, tactical capacity and overall revolutionary record. How did he get the job? What could he have done better? And what sets him apart in our national memory? Edited by Aidan Lonergan, produced by Sophie Gee. The Senior Producer was Charlotte Long.
