"This is a compelling and important story, in a wonderfully written book. Readers will come away better understanding the challenging duties, hardships, and stubbornness that transformed the army of these common soldiers of different ethnicities and immigrant groups, with African Americans and Native Americans among them, into a capable fighting force which would ultimately win independence for the colonists. Greenwalt has written a tightly woven account of these critical events that can help people learn more about the experience and rebirth of the Continental Army over the winter of 1777-1778.-- ""The NYMAS Review"" ""Serving as both a helpful concise history text and as a phenomenal field guide to modern Valley Forge and its surroundings, Greenwalt's research and careful attention to landmarks provide valuable insight to both the tourist and student of the American Revolution.""-- ""The Colonial Review"" ""The Winter that Won the War does not disappoint. It is a succinct history that summarizes the major events and characters that molded the American army into the fighting machine that eventually won the war. It is a must-read for anyone wanting an overview of the American army at Valley Forge.""-- ""Collected Miscellany"""
