Dave Richards’s Swords in Their Hands: George Washington and the Newburgh Conspiracy recognized as an Award-Winning Finalist in the ‘History: General’ category of the 2014 USA Best Book Awards.
“Few Americans realize that in March 1783 General Washington had to stare down an uprising by disgruntled army officers known as the Newburgh Conspiracy. In this comprehensive study of the conspiracy, Dave Richards tells the dramatic story of Washington’s role in quashing a military rebellion against the Congress. Well-researched, clearly written, and carefully argued, Swords in Their Hands tells a gripping story that makes an important contribution to the history of the Revolutionary War.”
