Read it:
Philadelphia, Cambridge, Valley Forge and Passy, 1754 to 1790. A revolution with no executive branch fights an eight-year war by committee. George Washington commands an army that Congress cannot pay; Benjamin Franklin, twenty-six years older and an ocean away, borrows the money that keeps it standing. The two men meet in person only a handful of times and conduct the rest by mail across a crossing that takes six weeks in a good season. Between them sit a board of war, a bankrupt commissary, a currency that dies in public, and a French foreign minister who wants Britain beaten without any questions raised about kings. The founding was an administrative achievement before it was a moral one. Covers George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Second Continental Congress, and Continental Army.
