Dear Reader:
If you’ve read, or are reading, my latest book, Winning the Ten Crucial Days: The Keys to Victory in George Washington’s Legendary Winter Campaign (Brookline Books, 2025), I thank you for diving into those pages. I hope you’ve found it informative, engaging, and thought-provoking, and perhaps even (as Richard J. Kane, Chairman of the Swan Historical Foundation, put it) “an important, insightful, and distinctive companion to the many narratives available on this campaign.”
Your feedback is very important to me, because frankly I believe it’s the best gauge I have of whether it makes sense for me to continue pounding the keyboard in the manner I’ve been doing for the last several years. So if you have a moment, I’d love to hear your thoughts, either by emailing me at dpauthor64@gmail.com or, better yet, sharing your comments with fellow history enthusiasts on the book’s Amazon page. In the latter case, a brief review will help other readers discover this unorthodox account of one of the most storied military enterprises the world has ever known and keep the conversation going. I would truly appreciate it!
Thank you for your consideration, and here’s hoping you have a wonderful summer.
Oh yeah, enjoy our 249th Independence Day.
Best regards,
dp
