Here is a compelling portrait of the Revolutionary War
general whose skills as an engineer and artilleryman
played a key role in all of George Washington's battles
including the Siege of Boston (where his use of cannons
at Dorchester Heights won back the city) and the Battle
of Trenton (where he was in charge of Washington's
crossing of the Delaware River). Knox became an major
advocate of the U.S. Constitution and served as the
nation's first Secretary of War. He was co-founder of
the U.S. Navy, laid the foundations for the U.S. Military
Academy at West Point and negotiated treaties and set
policy with Native Americans.With nail-biting battle scenes,
patriotism and deep understanding of his subject, Mark Puls
breathes new life into the American Revolution and firmly
assigns Knox to his deserved place in history.
