Bøger af Friedrich Wilhelm Ludolf Gerhar Steuben

The discipline and regulations that helped America win the Revolutionary War. The book was written-with the help of Alexander Hamilton-by Baron von Steuben, a colorful, charismatic, imposing, gay Prussian. Frederick William von Steuben had been a captain in the Prussian army, met Ben Franklin in Paris, and ultimately volunteered to come to America in exchange for free passage and a fancy uniform. When he arrived in America, he joined George Washington and trained an elite force at Valley Forge. He whipped the troops into shape, helped win the war, and left us this practical military training manual. Called the "Blue Book" it was used until after the War of 1812. Incredibly, much of it is still in use by America's Armed Services today.
