“The most flattering account of America that had ever been written” according to Jefferson, the author met many of the most influential characters of revolutionary America because of his duties as liaison officer between Rochambeau and Washington. This work though, is less about military affairs and is more a social commentary written by an acute observer. He leaves us a remarkable pen portrait of Washington. Sabin,12229
