The #1 New York Times bestselling book for many weeks, Jack Levin
presents a beautifully designed account of George Washington's historic
crossing of the Delaware River and the decisive Battle of Trenton, with
a foreword by his son, #1 New York Times bestselling author and radio
host Mark R. Levin.
With the warm-hearted patriotism and passion he brought to his beautiful
volume Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address Illustrated, Jack E. Levin
illuminates a profound turning point of the American Revolution: the
decisive Battle of Trenton and its prelude--General George Washington
leading his broken and ailing troops in a fleet of small wooden boats
across the ice-encased Delaware River.
While one iconic nineteenth-century painting made the crossing a
familiar image, the significance of the against-all-odds victory put
into motion on Christmas night, 1776, cannot be told enough. Jack Levin
brings to light several vital perspectives, and draws his text from
General Washington's letter to the Continental Congress to describe the
amazing account of the unlikely defeat of the Hessian army at Trenton.
As a father, Jack Levin inspired his sons--including Mark Levin, and
Douglas, and Robert--with his love for America. Around the family table,
he would share the facts and events of the nation's founding, spark
lively debates, and pass along his extensive knowledge and his deep and
abiding patriotism. Featuring Revolution-era artwork, portraiture, and
maps, George Washington: The Crossing imparts the same vivid, intimate
telling, that of a father to his sons--the kind of history lesson that
lives in the heart forever.
