In the Hurricane’s Eye: The Genius of George Washington and the Victory at Yorktown

byNathaniel Philbrick

In the Hurricane’s Eye is Nathaniel Philbrick's biographical portrait of the Genius of George Washington and the Victory at Yorktown. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
