    The insight of George Washington leading to the victory of Yorktown.
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in Canada on 23 June 2019*

It seems that the author used a lot of  knowledges and anecdotes  that he discovered while working on other books on the American Revolution. Very interesting reading indeed.

    Engrossing, fun, readable history

“In the Hurricane’s Eye” is another successful history, here pointing out the role and importance of the sea to the Revolutionary  War.  Many of us who are lovers of water and sometimes sailors have read all of Philbrick’s books with affection, will find this equal if not better than most.The study of wars and  battles usually are associated with depictions of the great men who overcame lesser generals or admirals. Modeled after Julius Caesar.  MostAmerican history textbooks note the importance of the French to the success of the thirteen colonies. We  were not exposed to the day to day travails in survey courses and most courses were more devoted to the political and economic issues.  Here following “Bunker Hill” where the role of the mob and the hatred of neighbors,  loyalists versus patriots we can also smell the gun powder  marvel at the ingenuity of generals like Nathaniel Greene and foot soldiers like Olney, who were remarkable in their skills and courage.And like  “ Valiant Ambition”  we learn the complexities of character of all the combatants.  As a Melville  devotee Philbrick realizes that all heroes  mix moral strengths with dastardly foibles.  As Arnold was vilified as a traitor he was previously gloried as a strong leader.  His fall from grace is now being understood as part of the confusing  part of life in a difficult time. His vehemence as a dastardly member of the British army caused such hatred in the Colonial soldiers to drive them to succeed.As we have learned from popular art and biography Alexander Hamilton combined overarching intelligence and courage with overbearing arrogance.  In this text the meeting of the normally placidly demeaned Washington  in a stairway he found as others knew that the general  had willed his public persona to be calm.  The equally proud and headstrong Hamilton quit.  He returned and got his wish to command a group in an assault on a redoubt at Yorktown with a display of fierce courage.The book is filled with short vignettes showing the character of many of the players, heroes as well as villains.  From this we understand that the fortunes of war are often the results of good decisions, but more often poor decisions.  Naval battles in large sailing ships as described by Patrick O’Brien  are rough, but here we see a shift in the direction of the wind can have a big part in who wins, and the now well understood hurricanes in the Caribbean are fierce and  can change the course of history.Most important  the book is readable, exciting and educational. I am not sure if tenured historians can appreciate Philbrick’s histories,but I am aware of a few learned dissertations on Arnold recently.  American history is now approached with a broad view coupling great men with descriptions of the poor, underfed and the well coifed French aristocrats. Hair was important to these leaders as it is to some politicians.I heartily recommend this as a reintroduction to the last phase of the Revolutionary war.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent book just like Philbricks other two books in his Revolutionary War series. I enjoy reading just about anything written by Philbrick and this book is no exception.  I highly recommend this book.
