Item 519: Autographed Copy of IN THE HURRICANE’S EYE: THE GENIUS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THE VICTORY AT YORKTOWN, Donated by author Nathaniel Philbrick; Paperback; Final book in The American Revolution Series; Philbrick tells the thrilling story of the year that won the Revolutionary War. In the fall of 1780, after five frustrating years of war, George Washington had come to realize that the only way to defeat the British Empire was with the help of the French navy. But coordinating his army's movements with those of a fleet of warships based thousands of miles away was next to impossible. And then, on September 5, 1781, the impossible happened. Recognized today as one of the most important naval engagements in the history of the world, the Battle of the Chesapeake—fought without a single American ship—made the subsequent victory of the Americans at Yorktown a virtual inevitability.
