Reviews"A welcome addition...Tucker got the balance right." -- Journal of Military History " Rise and Fight Again restores this unjustly neglected leader to his rightful place in the pantheon of America's generals. Based largely on primary sources and judicious in its judgments, this volume will stand as the finest compact biography of this skilled commander." -- Malcolm Muir , Virginia Military Institute "Tucker's excellent biography returns Greene to the forefront in the story of the American Revolution.... An engaging and informative account." -- Jim Piecuch , Kennesaw State University

SynopsisNext only to Continental army commander General George Washington, Nathanael Greene was the most important American general of the War for Independence. In Rise and Fight Again, military historian Spencer Tucker tells the story of Greene's rise from relative obscurity to military prominence at the tender age of thirty-two., Next only to Continental army commander General George Washington, Nathanael Greene was the most important American general of the War for Independence. Self-taught but extraordinarily capable, Greene won few battles. But his campaign that won the South for the revolutionary cause was the most brilliant and daring of the entire war.In Rise and Fight Again, award-winning military historian Spencer Tucker tells the story of Greene's rise from relative obscurity to military prominence at the tender age of thirty-two. He reveals Greene to have been a strict disciplinarian who insisted on rigorous training but was also deeply concerned for the welfare of his men. Tucker also shows that Greene was by nature a problem-solver who recognized talent and knew how to harness it effectively. Indeed, although Greene was the youngest general in his army, Washington assigned him the herculean task of serving as its quartermaster general. Greene proved so effective in this demanding assignment that in October 1780 he was given command of the Southern Department. Taking charge of a sharply depleted, dispirited force lacking all manner of military equipment and even clothing, Greene refused to be drawn into pitched battles save on favorable terms. He rebuilt the Southern army in less than a year and adopted daring tactics that defied conventional military wisdom but recaptured from British control most of the Carolinas and Georgia.Greene has rarely been accorded his earned place in the history of the American founding, in part because of his early death in 1786, when he was just forty-three. But with Tucker's brief but masterful biography, Greene finally gets his due., Next only to George Washington, he was the most important American general of the War for Independence. And you probably don't even know his name. Meet Nathanael Greene, one of the great generals in American military history. This young, driven, self-taught leader was responsible for the most brilliant and audacious campaign of the Revolution. This brief but masterful biography gives Greene his due place in the history of the American Founding. Book jacket.
